If you’re like most business owners, you know that ransomware is a huge threat to your data. Ransomware can encrypt all of your files, making them inaccessible, and then demand a ransom payment to unlock them. Our new service will help protect and stop ransomware attacks.
It’s no big secret that online attacks have increased, according to Datto’s Global State of the Channel Ransomware Report, 28% of managed service providers (MSPs) reported ransomware attacks in SaaS applications, such as Office 365, G suite, and DropBox.
These kinds of attacks can be devastating for businesses of all sizes. That’s why CCCit is proud to offer comprehensive ransomware protection services. We can help you stop ransomware, and keep data safe from attacks and prevent them from causing any damage. Contact us today to learn more!
So how does Ransomeware enter your computer, and how can you stop ransomware attacks.
There are two main ways that ransomware can find its way onto your systems: through malicious email attachments and unsecured websites. Malicious email attachments are the most common method of attack, and they can be very difficult to spot.
Unsecured websites are another common source of attacks. Ransomware can be injected into websites that aren’t properly secured, and if you visit one of these sites, the ransomware will be downloaded onto your computer. That’s why it’s important to only visit websites that you trust and keep your antivirus software up-to-date, to help you protect and stop ransomware.
Delivery: There are two main types of ransomware, traditional ransomware and RaaS (ransomware-as-a-service):
- Traditional ransomware is typically distributed by email attachments or unsecured websites.
- RaaS, on the other hand, is delivered through malicious ads or fake updates. RaaS is becoming increasingly popular because it’s much easier for attackers to distribute and manage.
Infection: Ransomware can be very difficult to spot, and stopping ransomware can be even harder. For example It can be disguised as a PDF or Word document, and if you open it, the ransomware will start encrypting your files immediately. That’s why it’s important to be careful when opening email attachments and to only visit websites that you trust.

Prevention: The best way to protect yourself and stop ransomware is to have a good backup strategy in place. This way, even if your files do get encrypted, you’ll still have a copy of them that you can restore.
CCCit offers comprehensive backup services that can help you.
Encryption: Ransomware can encrypt all of your files, making them inaccessible, and then demand a ransom payment to unlock them. This can be devastating for businesses of all sizes.
CCCit can help you keep your data safe from ransomware attacks and prevent them from causing any damage.
Spreading to SaaS: Ransomware can spread to SaaS applications, such as Office 365, G suite, and DropBox. This is becoming increasingly common because it’s much easier for attackers to distribute and manage. This is especially true with synced devices, this means that encrypted files on a user’s device are copied to the domain. This is why it’s so crucial to stop ransomware as soon as possible. Cloud-based phishing attacks however can be even worse. As it’s much easier to trick users into sharing administrative access.
Paying the Ransom: The hackers will often make ransom demands in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency and threaten to destroy data if the payment isn’t made within specific timeframes.

How to stop ransomware and what can you do to protect your system?
In today’s world of cybersecurity, businesses must have a plan in place to protect themselves from the threat and stop ransomware. They should look for solutions that offer protection across all devices and services their clients rely on so they can quickly recover if fallen prey to an attack. A comprehensive MSP backup strategy will ensure your company has enough time before coming into contact with an infection or data loss situation. A comprehensive ransomware solution should include all of the following:
Rapid Recovery of Business Operations: CCCit
Modern server backup solutions offer “instant recovery”. So how does this work? Physical snapshots are periodically taken of the virtual server. These files are stored locally and replicated to the cloud. This benefits companies because it means they can still operate normally whilst their primary server is being restored.
CCCit has partnered with Dattos Instant virtualization service which enables this type of recovery.
Point-In-Time Rollback for Servers: CCCit
Point-in-time rollback or restore gives MSPs the ability to “turn back the clock” and ensure minimal data loss. This is possible with modern backup solutions because they keep a series of time-stamped snapshots that can be selected in case there’s an emergency, like ransomware on your system! Point In Time Recovery (PITR) provides agents more control than traditional restores; it allows you to take advantage of this feature while still keeping some flexibility for future change. Impactful updates may require special attention due to them being larger files.
Stop Ransomware before it affects your system
If you have native ransomware detection capabilities in your backup solution, it’s a good idea to use them. Early identification can mitigate the impact of an attack and gives back-ups time for protection against malicious software like this. CCCit in partnership with Datto will help businesses detect Ransomeware earlier.
Choosing the right solution to stop ransomware attacks
It is critical to ensure that your business is adequately protected against the ever-evolving threat of ransomware. CCCit offers a comprehensive solution that will help you recover quickly, and with minimal data loss. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you protect your business.
