Nowhere is this more evident than with ransomware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few years ago, ransomware wasn\u2019t as big of a concern. While high-profile incidents like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaspersky.com\/resource-center\/threats\/ransomware-wannacry\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WannaCry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> attack on the NHS were concerning, they were far and few between. If you had a recent backup of your data in place, you could rely on that to replace your data in the event it was encrypted by ransomware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, however, the way cybercriminals use ransomware has evolved. They have improved their tactics and capabilities, allowing them to do much more damage, and demand much more money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of the threat of ransomware stems from modern \u201cgangs\u201d that follow a tried-and-tested approach in attacking their targets. They are essentially businesses, with marketing and sales teams, client relationship management practices, and honed service delivery standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As hackers standardize their attack vectors, it\u2019s critical that you understand how they work and what threat they pose to your business.Discover what you need to know in the third part of our cybersecurity webinar series:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CEh5PXKR26A\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2077 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allmtntech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Untitled-design-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/CEh5PXKR26A\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WATCH NOW<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why You Need Excellent Cybersecurity Hygiene<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s world, cybercriminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to breach systems and steal data or cause disruption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They use tools like malware and phishing attacks to target unsuspecting victims of cybercrime. As such, cybersecurity hygiene is essential for any organization that wants to protect itself from these threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adopting cybersecurity best practices can help organizations prevent attacks before they happen by implementing preventive measures such as cybersecurity training, multi-factor authentication, and data encryption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question you need to ask yourself is whether you can confidently manage cybersecurity on your own. The short answer is \u201cmaybe, but probably not\u201d. Especially for members of highly regulated industries like healthcare and financial services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, it&#8217;s entirely possible that, if you&#8217;ve invested in the right technologies, and have the right skill set, you could handle cybersecurity for your business all on your own. You would find your vulnerabilities, manage your policies, monitor your alerts, and everything else that comes with operating a secure business IT environment. If we\u2019re being honest, however, that\u2019s a big if.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to protecting against the ongoing, evolving cybersecurity threats in play today, managing cybersecurity is, understandably, a tall order. For all these reasons, it\u2019s recommended that business owners simply outsource their cybersecurity for complete management by an IT company they can rely on<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An internal cybersecurity manager or even an entire team can only offer so much in terms of availability, time, and skill sets. You might have the most talented person or people and they will still be limited in what they can do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s wise to enlist expert assistance. You don&#8217;t have to handle cybersecurity on your own\u2014the All Mountain Technologies team can equip you with the Blackpoint Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackpoint MDR is an outsourced service that provides organizations like yours with threat-hunting services and responds to threats once they are discovered.
