A business falls victim to a ransomware attack every 11 seconds, making ransomware the fastest-growing type of cybercrime.

The first thing to do when dealing with a ransomware attack is to assess your options for recovery.

This may mean a complete bottom-up approach - reinstalling systems along with recovery of data - or it may mean making do with smaller data sets that can be recovered quickly.

Granular restore: This is when you need to have some data restored quickly, but can leave specific data out of the immediate recovery process and come back to it later.

Distribute data: You should have good endpoint data-protection tools for desktops and laptops to ensure employees across worksites and those who work remotely have their data backed up continuously.

Store data securely: Encrypting data can help delay attacks by making it more difficult for ransomware to identify what data you have stored.
