The Rising Cost Of Zepto Ransomware

Following the news about the rise of Zepto ransomware, Richard Walters, SVP Security Products at Intermedia commented below.

Richard Walters, SVP Security Products at Intermedia:

“As the surge in new Zepto ransomware activity has shown, ransomware continues to evolve at dangerously fast speeds and needs to be recognised as a very real threat to organisations of all sizes. The emerging malware is no longer infiltrating one computer at a time; it’s threatening to take entire businesses offline for extended periods of time. Now more than ever, companies need to prepare for a ransomware attack by implementing fully-baked business continuity plans that incorporate off-site, real–time cloud backups. This ensures employees can immediately access clean versions of files on another device should disaster strike.”
