Ransomware is one of the fastest-growing threats to small businesses, and it does not care how big you are.
It works by locking you out of your own systems, data, or files. Then the criminals demand a payment, often in cryptocurrency, to give it back. Some businesses pay and still do not fully recover.
While you are locked out, the business stops. No scheduling, no invoicing, no access to customer records. The cost is rarely just the ransom. It is the days of downtime around it.
Cyber coverage can help with recovery, downtime, and the response you would need in that moment. Good backups and basic security habits lower the odds in the first place.
If any part of your business lives on a computer, this is worth understanding before it happens.
