2. Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files or entire systems, rendering them inaccessible to users. Cybercriminals demand payment, usually in cryptocurrency, in exchange for the decryption key. This form of cybercrime can devastate businesses, causing downtime and data loss.To protect against ransomware, ensure you have robust backups and keep them separate from your main system. Additionally, invest in anti-malware software and train your employees to recognize suspicious activity. Ransomware often spreads through phishing attacks, so awareness and education are critical.
