How Ransomware Impacts a Business
A successful ransomware attack impacts a company’s ability to function. In this video, senior consultant Trey Turner explains that often the business is affected in unforeseen ways. Even companies whose core functions exist outside of digital networks can find their ability to function severely compromised. Even if business is able to continue, workaround solutions may hamper business speed and the volume of transactions able to be done. In some cases, ransomware can shutter a business. He urges companies to consider worst case scenarios and give a critical eye to what systems could go down. Doing such an assessment would clarify how vulnerable your business is and encourage preparations against this threat as needed.
Highlights:
– Ransomware disrupts business as usual, leading to issues with capacity, payroll, invoicing, ordering, and more. The impact of ransomware can be detrimental enough for a business to go under.
– No industry is immune to the impacts of ransomware. Even construction companies may see business come to a halt when certain processes no longer function.
– Simply put, if a business is no longer able to function at the level it was making money at before, they may go out of business.
