GravityZone multi-layer anti-ransomware capabilities

Attacks are up and their complexity and impact are increasing - with all organizations, irrespective of size being targeted. No more than ever, businesses need to adapt and put in place technologies and cybersecurity practices to stay ahead of cyber criminals.​

Solving the ransomware threat requires more than strengthening technological defenses. With 95%* of cyber security breaches primarily caused by human error, businesses will only be safe when the organizational human aspect is defensible as well.

Given the global cybersecurity skills shortage, all organizations want to do more with less, while keeping it as simple as possible for their teams.​

Ransomware is a business problem

Ransomware is a big problem. Especially for small and midsized organizations.​

The disruption ransomware causes to business activity (20 days on average, Gartner, Ransomware in Midsize Enterprises) can be fatal to smaller companies.

Putting in place a strong ransomware defense requires a joint effort between technology, people, and processes.​

Human Factor, the weakest link​

Not only the complex and growing threat landscape is a cybersecurity concern for businesses. Organizations are also at risk from within. From sharing business data via unsecured devices, poor password practices, postponing updates and patches, falling victims to phishing emails or Business Email Compromise or by simply clicking the wrong link, employees cause cybersecuriy incidents.​

This is why the human factor needs to be an important element CISOs need to consider in order to protect their organizations from cyber-attacks.​

Balance ease of use vs efficiency vs costs​

Ensuring effective business cybersecurity is challenging for all businesses, but particularly harder for smaller ones struggling with limited budgets and cyber skills. 

Add increasing attack sophistication to the mix and it becomes obvious why usability is key when deploying cybersecurity solution by a resource challenged business.​

Proactive Protection against Ransomware​
