What is ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software that infects a computer, encrypts your files, and holds them hostage until a ransom is paid. Victims are usually given a deadline — and told they'll lose their files forever if they don't pay.
It most often arrives by email through phishing, tricking someone into clicking a link or opening an attachment. It can also spread through drive-by downloads on compromised websites, then move quickly across the network.
Pay & hope vs. prevent & recover
Why a managed approach beats scrambling after an attack
When ransomware hits, the difference between a bad afternoon and a business-ending event usually comes down to whether you were prepared. Here's how a reactive, DIY approach stacks up against ongoing managed protection.
We build the safeguards in advance — so if anything gets through, recovery is fast and painless.

Ransomware Questions, Answered
What Greater Boston business owners ask us most about ransomware removal and prevention.
Ransomware is malicious software that infects your computer, encrypts your files, and holds them hostage until a ransom is paid. Even if you pay, there is no guarantee the attacker will restore your data, which is why prevention and reliable backups matter so much for Greater Boston businesses.
The most common delivery method is email, usually through phishing messages that trick a user into clicking a link or opening an attachment. Ransomware can also spread through drive-by downloads on compromised websites, and once inside, it moves quickly across your network connection to other systems.
The FBI strongly discourages paying the ransom, because payment does not guarantee your files will be unlocked and it encourages further attacks. If your backups are current and unaffected, you typically do not need to pay. If you are unsure, contact your IT support team immediately so threats can be removed and your data restored.
Isolate the infected computer right away by disconnecting it from the network to stop the ransomware from spreading. Do not pay the ransom, and contact your IT support team immediately so they can contain the threat, remove it, and begin restoring your systems from clean backups with an industry-leading response time to minimize downtime.
No organization is completely immune, but you can dramatically reduce your risk by keeping software patched and up to date, training staff to recognize phishing, avoiding suspicious links and attachments, and backing up your data consistently. We recommend the 3-2-1 backup strategy: three copies of your data, on two types of media, with one stored offsite.
Yes. We provide ransomware removal solutions and ransomware prevention services to companies throughout the Greater Boston area. Our team can ensure threats are removed from your network and computers and that your data is restored, helping you get back to business with minimal disruption.
