How to Train Employees to Avoid Malware & Ransomware Attacks

Learn What Ransomware is  and How to protect against it and Prevent it getting into your system.

The datahops ransomware awareness training course teaches users how to spot danger signs and how to protect you and your business from being a victim  of an attack. It also  gives guidance on what to do in the event of a ransomware attack with examples of how these breaches happen.

Ransomware is a malicious type of software that is designed to do harm. It works by encrypting a person’s computer files or locking them out of their own computer. In simple terms, it’s like having your important files put into a locked box that you can’t open. Then, the cybercriminals behind the ransomware demand a ransom, to give you the “key” to unlock your files or computer. If you don’t pay, they may keep your data locked, which can lead to losing important information, financial loss, and causing chaos in your work.
