Ransomware Attacks: Is Your Business a Sitting Duck? (The Threat Is Closer Than You Think)
Call for free Assessment
The recent ransomware attack that crippled The News-Review disrupting newspaper deliveries, wasn’t an isolated incident in some far-off city. It happened right here in Roseburg – a grim reminder that local businesses aren’t invincible to these insidious cybersecurity attacks.
While The News-Review is taking commendable steps to recover with expert aid, this should be a wake-up call for everyone running a business in our community. The question isn’t IF you could be targeted, but WHEN, and whether you’re prepared to stand strong against it.
What Makes a Business Vulnerable?
Many think only big operations attract hackers, but here are some local truths:
Smaller targets = Weaker Defenses? Understaffed businesses often feel under the radar, but lack of IT resources actually makes you easier prey.
“Our Data Isn’t Worth Stealing” Mentality Ransomware isn’t always about selling client lists. Your operation grinds to a halt, damaging revenue AND reputation.
Outdated Tech is a Welcome Mat Cybercriminals know old systems have soft spots. Updates or patches you skip out of habit might be the entry point.
Staff: Your First Line of Defense…or Your Biggest Risk? Clicking links, opening shady files – basic errors add up to big headaches. Is your team trained for today’s threat landscape?
