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.
