FireHost Presents "Ransomware: A Rising Threat That’s Playing For Keeps"

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Secure cloud provider FireHost invites you to imagine your business suddenly paralyzed. Employees are locked out of their computers, and executives are operating completely in the dark. The only way to get up and running again? Pay a lot of money to the hackers who are in the process of sinking your business.

That’s the threat of ransomware, a fast-growing cybercrime that impacts an alarming number of individuals and businesses. While public data breaches occur almost daily, ransomware is one of the fastest growing security threats that no one hears about because victims suffer in silence. Hackers install malware that locks individuals and businesses out of their systems and forces them to pay a steep ransom or face the destruction of their files and business.

To shed light on the threat, FireHost’s Threat Intelligence Lead Chase Cunningham will host a webinar that provides an overview of ransomware and guidance on how to manage an attack if your business is targeted.
