Imagine waking up to find your entire organization frozen. No access to systems. No way to serve customers. No communication. Just a message demanding payment and a clock ticking down.

This isn’t a hypothetical – it’s reality for 64% of Australian businesses hit by ransomware. And here’s the chilling part: most had no choice but to halt operations entirely.

Ransomware has evolved from a data hostage scenario to a full-scale operational crisis. Attackers aren’t just locking up your files – they’re crippling your entire business. And it’s working.

Why? Because ransomware campaigns today are smarter, faster, and far more targeted. They’re not just after large enterprises. Small to mid-sized organizations are now prime targets due to perceived weaker defenses.

It only takes one click on a malicious link. One compromised credential. One overlooked vulnerability.

The real cost isn’t just the ransom. It’s downtime, lost revenue, damaged trust, and reputational fallout that lingers long after the encryption is lifted.

So how do you fight back?
