Ransomware: Are you aware of the cost of an outbreak? Ransomware is the most expensive form of malware to hit organisations worldwide IT-professionals understand the productivity, revenue loss and disruption that a ransomware outbreak can cause, when it passes the perimeter and Endpoint Protection Platforms (Anti-Virus). However, it can be a struggle for professionals to communicate and visualise the critical nature of this threat at decision making- and board level, particularly when several solutions have already been purchased to mitigate this threat. In past years we have all seen several large organisations with large IT and security teams and sizable security budgets, invest in several best-of-breed solutions at perimeter and endpoint level, only to still be penetrated and hit by a ransomware outbreak. Not many organisations understand the full financial and organisational impact of a ransomware outbreak. To aid organisations we have made it easy to overcome this struggle and justify why a ‘Last Line of Defence’ is needed. Historically, the Cybercriminals have always been one step ahead, resulting in prevention solutions not being able to cope with all threats and having the inherent weakness of not fully protecting, particularly against the latest threats. When ransomware has already by-passed all other defenses, there is nothing left in your environment to stop it from encrypting 7.000 files per minute. The solution is Bullwall’s Last Line of Defence - RC, which is a 24/7 automated containment solution, which is laser-focused on stopping a ransomware outbreak immediately, thereby minimising any disruption, downtime, and cost to the business to an absolute minimum. Schedule a demo with Brookcourt Solutions to learn about our Last Line of Defence solution, which has a proven record of stopping Ransomware outbreaks. contact@brookcourtsolutions.com You can try our Cost of Downtime calculator based on your numbers: Please visit bullwall.com/cod www.brookcourtsolutions.com
