Keeper Security surveyed 2,000 employees whose organizations had been victimized by ransomware in the previous 12 months. One-third of companies got hit by trains they never saw coming. The majority of attacks involve social engineering schemes including phishing emails and compromised passwords. Organizations need to harden systems to prevent future attacks, as well as make repairs to systems damaged by the attacks. The first step to preventing ransomware attacks is to ensure that employees use strong passwords for every account. Keeper Security s platform makes it easy to monitor and control password usage for employees to follow best practices for employees.
