Avoid Ransomware attacks by taking proactive measures with MBG to protect your organization

There is a common misconception that malware and ransomware are interchangeable terms, but they actually refer to different types of malicious software.

Malware is a broad term that encompasses any software designed to harm or exploit a computer system, including viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. Malware can be used for a variety of purposes, such as stealing sensitive data, disrupting computer operations, or taking control of a device.

On the other hand, ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key. Ransomware typically spreads through phishing emails, malicious websites, or software vulnerabilities. If a victim refuses to pay the ransom, they may lose access to their files permanently.

While ransomware is a type of malware, not all malware is ransomware. It is important to understand the differences between these terms and how they are used in order to better protect oneself against cyber-attacks.
