Learn the Steps in a Ransomware Attack.

To help you understand how ransomware attacks work, let Guardian Digital teach you the anatomy of a ransomware attack.

Watch: Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack

Cybercriminals develop malicious software that encrypts target files until a ransom payment specified by the attacker is made.

Cybercriminals purchase ransomware on the Dark Web or use hosted ransomware services to avoid time-consuming commitments.

Threat actors use phishing emails by often masquerading as a known or trusted individual or organization.

When opening the email’s attachment, the ransomware demands payment in untraceable Bitcoin in exchange for getting files back.

Many that fall victim to ransomware pay the ransom, but victims often never regain control of their systems, even once the ransom is paid.

Our email security solution finds and intercepts ransomware threats, mitigates risk and provides your organization with peace of mind.
