Cyberattacks are the fastest growing crime in the U.S., and they are increasing in size, sophistication and cost.
It is estimated that damages caused by cybercrime will hit $6 trillion a year by 2021.
Global ransomware is also on the rise. Ransomware damages are now predicted to cost the world $20 billion in 2021 and one business will be attacked every 11 seconds!
You don’t want to be the next one, right?
Are You Protected?
Companies are experiencing larger breaches on a global scale. Data Breaches Expose 4.1 Billion records in first six months of 2019. Staff training and technology go hand in hand in fighting off hackers. Yet about one-third of employees aren’t receiving any training related to cybersecurity and those that do receive proper training may not receive more than 2 hours of training per year!
Cyber attacks target businesses of all sizes and industries causing havoc for these companies who in turn: lost trust with their clients, days of productivity, and millions of dollars.
Keep Hackers Out of Your Assembly Line!

These cyber attacks target businesses of all sizes and industries causing havoc for these companies who in turn: lose trust with their clients, days of productivity, and millions of dollars.
How to Stay Protected – Best Practices
Though ransomware can be an expensive, and difficult software to deal with, it is easy to prevent if you take the right steps:
- Do not open any attachment or click any email links, even if it appears to be from a sender you know
- Always use an antivirus software and firewall
- Do not use a Wi-Fi connection that is public, unless you are using VPN (virtual private network) encryption.
- Use a browser extension that will detect malicious websites
- Back up data each and every day. This allows companies to recover files that were saved before the ransomware set in.
- Always use the most recent release of your favorite browser, and make sure you update to the latest version of Windows or iOS when it is available.
