CANCELED--Lunch & Learn -Ransomware: What it is and how to protect your company

Almost all businesses have a secure firewall and active anti-virus protection. Even with those security features in place, your company can still fall victim to ransomware. Hacking for ransom is a growing cyber threat to business. Ransomware is a type of software that hackers use to hold data hostage by blocking access to file unless business owners agree to pay the ransom.

This seminar will empower business owners with the knowledge they need to survive a ransomware attack.
