While business behemoths often steal the economic headlines, it’s small and medium businesses (SMBs) who really steal the show. For context, the U.S. Small Business Administration reports there are 32.5 million small businesses in the United States, compared to only 20,516 large businesses. This means that 99.9% of all U.S. firms are considered to be small businesses, which are generally defined as independent organizations having fewer than 500 employees.

Ransomware is one of the most sophisticated and feared attacks in the modern threat landscape. A specialized form of malware, ransomware is designed to forcibly encrypt a victim’s files. The attacker then demands a payment from the victim in exchange for the decryption key to restore access to the data upon payment. Costs can range from a few hundred dollars to millions, in addition to the disruption suffered while data remained inaccessible. And even if the ransom is paid, there’s no guarantee that the promised key will be provided. The ability of a ransomware attack to render its victim’s data inaccessible makes it a far greater threat than simple data theft—making ransomware protection a top cyber defense priority for every organization.
