The article discusses how that despite all the money, time and resources organizations spend to protect against malware, they aren’t preventing attacks. Today, an average ransomware incident lasts about 16 days. If a business succumbs to the threat and a ransom is paid, they get a decryption key or tool to recover the data. This requires technical resources to track down and decrypt every hacked device, leading to more downtime and lost productivity. And, by the way, paying the ransom doesn’t guarantee they get their data back. A report from 2016 found that roughly 19% of businesses that paid the ransom after a breach did not regain access to its data. Worse yet, organizations face the same risk with future attacks. Even with billions of dollars spent on cyberattack prevention, we still have more work to do.

In the past, the only way forward to fully clean the computer would be to do a bare metal restore or to reinstall everything from scratch. NeuShield’s One-Click Restore feature is designed to address this shortcoming. Read More: Blog >> To learn more and receive a free trial and demo of NeuShield please contact info@neushield.com

On Tuesday February 9th, we released an updated build of NeuShield Data Sentinel. This new release adds improved performance, additional status and logging, as well as some fixes for OneDrive and Dropbox.
An attack by Fully UnDetectable (FUD) ransomware is very hard to detect and next to impossible to clean with traditional security solutions. This is because existing security solutions rely on detection and pre-programmed steps to disinfect and quarantine the malware.
