We recently coined this as the Summer of Cybercrime. Major ransomware attacks continue to hit companies globally. The attacks can cause significant damage, from a financial, reputation and productivity standpoint. <\/p>\n

In most cases, these attacks could be stopped with a concerted effort on cybersecurity hygiene. That is the key to stopping this growing trend of successful modern ransomware attacks. <\/p>\n

In the latest instance against Kaseya<\/a>, previously unknown, or zero-day, vulnerabilities were leveraged. While this is increasingly uncommon, attacks that use new bugs can still be stopped. <\/p>\n

Regardless of how attackers get in, there are several places where they can be spotted and stopped before they get to the point of encrypting data and demanding a ransom. <\/p>\n
