Protecting Your Business from Malware
03/29/2017

Join us for an informative presentation to identify threats and learn protection methods to reduce the risk of your data being held hostage by predators.
Ransomware is becoming a serious epidemic affecting businesses of all sizes and protecting your company is more critical than ever before. 
A recent Government report indicates there have been 4,000 daily ransomware attacks during 2016, this is a 300 percent increase over attacks reported in 2015.  Additionally, victims paid more than $24 million to regain access to their data and getting your data back is not guaranteed.
What does this mean for you and your business?  In order to protect your business, you need to understand and educate your employees about this destructive type of malware and the damage it can do to your business.
