Although IT teams and MSPs continue to ramp up their security efforts, ransomware attacks show no signs of slowing down. Statistica’s ransomware report shows that in 2022, there were approximately 493.3 million ransomware attacks, and while this is a decrease from the 625.3 million attacks that occurred in 2021, it’s still higher than all the other years in the last decade.

The question, then, is a pressing one: How do you get your data back without paying the ransom?
The modern threat actor is using the most advanced technologies to gain access to your systems, wreak havoc, and steal your sensitive data. In the constant cybersecurity “arms race,” IT providers, MSPs, and security professionals are incorporating these same advanced technologies to stop these sophisticated attacks. In this article, we’ll discuss the current malware threat and work to better understand what you can do to stop these attacks.
