Defeat ransomware with contentACCESS

Every company needs to have its data saved somewhere. It often contains information not visible to the public, like certificates, CVs or information about company’s contracts, incomes or outgoings in form of office documents, PDFs, pictures, video and audio files, report files. These files are the most valuable digital asset of the company and need to be preserved and accessible on various devices for certain periods of time as determined by law and/or internal company regulations. However, some ransomware may try to ruin your company data.

What exactly a ransomware is?

The name ransomware is composed of two words : ransom – money paid to unlock or free somebody or something, and malware – a malicious software that is acting against the requirements of the computer user. The most noticeable ransomware in the last months were Petya and WannaCry.

Petya is a family of encrypting ransomware that is targeting systems running Microsoft Windows, where it infects the master boot record and prevents Windows from booting

WannaCry is a specific ransomware program. After the software is opened, it tells the user that his files have been encrypted and leaves him with only instructions on what to do next and the WannaCry itself. The access to files is now blocked. It gives the user a few days to pay up in BitCoins, warning that otherwise all the files will be deleted. It also gives instructions on how to buy BitCoins and provides an address to send it to afterwards.

Infected more than 230000 computers in three days.
Infection was spreading via EternalBlue exploit – a weakness in Windows’ SMB, which made it possible for the attackers to execute a code on the target computer.
Encrypted about 179 different kind of files, your computer got blocked and files unusable.
Displayed a ransom note asking for 300 to 600 dollars in Bitcoins for the files to be restored to their original state.
