We have all seen the national news about Land Rover, M&S, the Co-Op and the NHS being targeted by cyber-bullies, attacking their business. High profile organisations on their knees, held to ransom by pirates. The domino effect ruins companies.
It starts with a single email.
An employee receives what appears to be a routine management document. It’s well-written, looks familiar, mentions internal employee names and seemingly harmless. They click the link, download the file, and unknowingly unleash ransomware across the corporate network.
Now the business faces a nightmare scenario:
- Systems are locked.
- Operations grind to a halt.
- The ransom demand arrives.
Do you pay? Do you risk permanent data loss?
Here’s how to plan and prepare.
- Backup everything—and test your recovery process regularly.
- Train your team—phishing awareness is your first line of defence.
- Have a response plan—know who to call and what to do before disaster strikes.
Are you ready for the worst-case scenario?
