What ransomware protection means
Ransomware protection is a layered approach to prevent, detect, and recover from attacks that encrypt files or systems — often paired with threats to publish or delete data.
Legacy antivirus alone is insufficient. Organizations need perimeter, endpoint, identity, email controls, network segmentation, and malware-proof backup.
Common defense layers
NGFW firewalls and access policy limit lateral movement. EDR detects suspicious behavior. Email security reduces phishing — the most common entry vector.
Immutable/offline backup is the last line: even if production is encrypted, clean copies can be restored after containment.
Operations matter
Effective protection requires patch management, backup server hardening, log monitoring, and incident drills (tabletop/restore tests).
Intilogy designs security architecture aligned with your infrastructure — firewall, endpoint, SIEM/SOC, and Veeam backup integration.
Frequently asked questions
Should we pay the ransom?
Enterprise policy typically avoids ransom payment; focus on isolation, forensics, and restore from clean backups. Prevention and drills cost less than negotiation.
