One Camera, Wide Area Smart Monitoring: Hikvision’s TandemVu PTZ + Bullet All-In-One Cameras

Hikvision knows the importance of cybersecurity, especially when it comes to ransomware attacks. Ransomware is a form of malware that is silently installed on a computer after someone falls for a phishing attack. You will not know that your computer is infected with ransomware until it is too late.

In this Security Magazine article, IBM data over three years shows ransomware as the most popular form of attack, making up 21% of all cyberattacks. Hackers are using psychological warfare to get the money they want, and technology can’t always stop them from accomplishing their end goal. To keep your business safe from a ransomware attack, you must also address the human issue. Ransomware attacks happen through phishing, social media, and even through physically walking into a company building to get access to company devices.

Here are 4 tips to avoid ransomware attacks:

Data Backup: The first and most important thing that you can do to prevent ransomware is back up your devices. For more details, check out the Hikvision article on data backups here.
Patching: Patches are updates to a computer program or its data that improve or fix its performance. By installing patches as soon as they are released, or by setting automatic patching where available, you can keep your system up to date and reduce risk.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enable MFA where available to better protect your accounts and devices. This also protects against credential stuffing attacks.
Use a Password Manager: Using a password management tool can help you create strong, unique passwords for every account. A password manager is a software tool that is used to store all of your passwords in an encrypted file so that you, and no one else, have very easy access to them, helping to minimize security concerns.
