Security News > 2021 > June > Best practices for IT teams to prevent ransomware attacks
From WannaCry, Petya, and SamSam to Ryuk, these ransomware attacks have caused huge financial and reputation losses for both public and private sector organizations - the recent attacks on Colonial Pipeline are just the latest example.
Most of successful ransomware attacks happen because organizations overlook a simple security practice.
Numerous activities occur within them every day and monitoring them continuously can help prevent security attacks.
Allowing guessable passwords on your endpoints might not only allow attacks from outside but also paves the way for insider attacks.
These controls harden system configurations and prevent attacks by multiple folds.
These indications of attacks and compromise must be immediately detected in the network and acted upon to prevent serious security breaches.
