Backing up data on computers is an important practice to ensure that important information, files and documents are not lost. Data loss can be catastrophic for both individuals and companies; therefore, it is necessary to have a plan to prevent such problems. For SMEs, there are cost-effective solutions that Compliq can implement.
This has become even more important in times when Ransomware* has become increasingly common among SMEs. Ransomware can encrypt your computer and demand payment in exchange for data recovery, there are also cases where there is no possibility to pay but the purpose is to destroy. A backup is then the only salvation if you are exposed to such an attack, since you can then restore the data from the backup without having to pay the ransom to the attacker. We at Compliq offer both preventive solutions and backup solutions in case of an accident. The preventive solutions we offer are, workshop in cyber security, inspection of corporate IT infrastructure and antivirus solutions.
In addition to backup, there are alternative solutions to prevent Ransomware. Employee training is often the most effective solution to inadvertently infect computers with Ransomware because the human factor is the most common cause of intrusion. If you have a service agreement with us at Compliq, we add different levels of security to increase the security of the company. We offer both short online courses and on-site training.
* Ransomware
Ransomware is a malicious program developed by hackers to hold a user's computer or data files hostage. It works by encrypting the user's files and folders, preventing them from accessing them until a ransom is paid. Ransomware can be particularly harmful to small and medium-sized businesses, as it can prevent them from functioning and damage essential data as well as customer projects. If the company is affected, you have an obligation to deal with the matter within 72 hours of the discovery. Visit the Privacy Protection Authority for more information.
Compliq will hold free online training in cyber security during the month of March. Follow us on social media to keep up to date.
