Understanding Anti Ransomware: How It Works to Protect Your Business

Ransomware is one of the biggest cyberthreats facing today’s businesses. By encrypting or stealing sensitive business data, then demanding money in order to recover it, hackers can bring operations to a halt, extort businesses into payments and hugely damage their reputation.

BlackFog’s anti ransomware tools aim to prevent this by actively detecting and preventing this type of malware before it can succeed. Key elements include behavioral monitoring to spot suspicious activity, anti data exfiltration to block the theft of business information and real-time, automated responses to shut down hacks as soon as possible.

Unlike traditional signature-based antimalware tools, which work reactively, BlackFog’s ransomware detection takes a proactive approach. From active threat hunting to on-device analysis of every packet of data leaving the network, BlackFog’s tools offer tailored protection against today’s most common cybersecurity issues.

BlackFog Ransomware Prevention FAQs

Ransomware attacks are now one of the biggest cyberthreats facing businesses. Make sure you’re aware of the risks by knowing the basics of what it involves and how to respond.

Ransomware is any malicious software that aims to disrupt operations by deleting, encrypting or otherwise compromising key files and demanding payment for the restoration of access.

Traditional forms of ransomware include locker and crypto malware. However, the most common and dangerous form today is double extortion ransomware, which leverages data exfiltration to steal information and demand payment to avoid having it publicly exposed.

The majority of ransomware attacks enter networks via email. Phishing attacks and human error are also among the main causes of ransomware, so anti ransomware tools must be supported with effective email security and employee training.

Every business is at risk of ransomware, regardless of size or industry. However, the most common targets include firms in the healthcare, education or public services sectors.

Dedicated anti ransomware tools use techniques like behavioral monitoring to look for key signs of ransomware, such as suspicious file access and modification attempts and large data transfers.

In 2024, the average cost of a data breach totalled $4.4 million. However, for ransomware attacks that were not spotted before the hacker made contact, this increased to $5.08 million. This highlights the importance of tools that can provide early detection.

Law enforcement agencies in the US and UK advise against paying ransomware demands, as this provides further encouragement to cybercriminal gangs. Businesses that do are more likely to come under further attack than those that refuse.

Having a clear, comprehensive ransomware response plan is essential for any business. This should include details on what everyone’s responsibilities are, how to make and recover backups and what regulatory reporting steps are required.
