Best practices for securing your network from ransomware

Stop ransomware before it strikes

 

Ransomware remains a top cyberthreat.

In 2025, it accounted for 90% of cyberattacks targeting midsize businesses1 , with recovery costs averaging an eye-watering $1.53 million2.

The window to stop these attacks is small: attackers typically spend a median of just three days inside a network before deploying ransomware3. This makes early detection and optimized network security critical to stopping an attack before it escalates.
