Ransomware and Your HVACR Business
Posted on:
Recent ransomware attacks have HVACR businesses on edge. Fortunately, there are various ways that these businesses can protect themselves and reduce the risk of falling victim to ransomware.
- Keep your business’s IT infrastructure and software fully up to date. Having a companywide process to ensure all technology has the latest security updates as soon as they’re released is your first line of defense.
- Use software with artificial intelligence (AI) that analyzes which programs and processes are affected as soon as malicious activity is detected, then stops it.
- Use advanced email spam protection tools that offer more defensive capability than previous options.
- Have all of your employees take periodic security awareness training to learn how to distinguish potentially dangerous emails and phishing scams.
- Have a reliable backup system in place in case ransomware does infect and shut down your IT network.
