The ransomware business is booming. Nearly 50% of organizations have been hit with ransomware. And all indications are that it will just continue to increase in severity and frequency in the coming years as it proves to be a successful money grab for the bad guys.

Good news – there are things you can do to protect your company and data.

   DNS filtering works by automatically blocking what it finds to be poison sites for you!  If there is a link in an email or on another webpage that looks innocent enough but, when followed by an end user, leads to a bad site, it can be blocked automatically so your risk of virus/Spyware or phishing scams are greatly reduced.  There has been a notable escalation in phishing attacks.  Phishing leads to a successful Ransomware attack.  DNS filtering works as a great companion protection to your anti-virus and spam filtering.
As an added bonus, you can block specific sites as well, like Facebook, Monster.com, and so on, or all sites of a specific nature, such as social networking, job search, gambling, or adult content with its use.   And it is a very affordable protection against what could be a very expensive attack.

Web-based employee training is an annual subscription based service that allows for the training of your employees to avoid falling for phishing attacks.
