The best defense against a Ransomware attack is to perform a regular backup of your files. Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their computer system, either by locking the system’s screen or by locking/encrypting the users’ files unless a ransom is paid in exchange for the deciphering key. Keeping a disconnected off-line copy of your data is a pragmatic way to improve your backup strategy. Your last line of defense against Ransomware needs to be an off-line backup. This whitepaper describes what happens when Ransomware takes over a computer, what steps needs to be taken for defense against Ransomware, and how regular and proper backups can help users restore data. It addresses key questions like: >How does Ransomware get into your environment? >How do you protect your data from Ransomware attacks? >Is cloud Ransomware protection heaven?

Today’s sophisticated malware is a major culprit in many of the rampant cybersecurity incidents. Unfortunately for organizations, advanced malware is getting harder to detect. Malware assaults are so common that many IT managers admit that their enterprise networks are likely to experience a cyberattack at some point because their conventional security systems cannot effectively neutralize the latest malware. Traditional malware detection technologies are unable to see what’s going on inside the operating system, or in the kernel that the operating system relies on. In such scenario an advanced malware protection approach is required to enable deep content inspection of all objects and to detect even the most evasive malware. This white paper on "Malware Detection" highlights: Market overview on advanced malware: detection, protection, and remediation Why conventional sandbox technologies don’t protect your network Common evasion methods used by malware authors to avoid detection Identifying particular domains that are known to send advanced malware Choosing an advanced malware protection solution to prevent mass-distributed malware infections and detect legacy threats
