12 May was the Anti-Ransomware DAY, the global day established to raise awareness about the risks of Ransomware and promote good practices to prevent and react to such attacks.

The initiative was launched in 2020 by INTERPOL, in memory of the famous Wannacry attack that took place on 12 May 2017. Due to the significant media coverage it received, it also popularized the term "Ransomware" among the general public.
In fact Ransomware remains one of the most devastating and costly cyberattacks today for companies, public institutions, and private individuals, as attackers exploit vulnerabilities to block access to files or computers and demand a ransom in exchange for access.

For more information about the WannaCry attack, we invite you to see our news: https://www.tgsoft.it/news/news_archivio.asp?id=833

On Anti-Ransomware Day, but not only on this day, TG Soft Cyber Security Specialist promotes the importance of implementing a protection system that uses Behavioral Heuristic Technologies specifically designed to recognize the behavior of these attacks, and block them in their early stages.

In fact, through the technologies developed by TG Soft's CRAM and built into Vir.IT eXplorer PRO, these attacks can be mitigated, thus safeguarding files from encryption.

On Anti-Ransomware DAY we emphasise that against Ransomware, PREVENTION is the best DEFENCE. In fact, in addition to being more effective, it is also less costly than recovering and restarting machines affected/affected by a ransomware attack.

Thanks to heuristic behavioural technologies, built into Vir.IT eXplorer PRO our customers have been saved from Wannacry, and every day thousands of PCs / Servers are protected from ransomware attacks. In addition Vir.IT eXplorer PRO, develped with 100 % Italian technologies, supports with you a highly specialised TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE in case you come across these and other cyber threats.

Vir.IT Anti-Ransomware Technologies Crypto-Malware Protection

The Anti-Ransomware protection of Vir.IT eXplorer PRO monitors the main types of document files (doc, xls, pdf, jpg, etc.), and if a encryption process begins, the Anti-Ransomware technologies intervene to inhibit it, safeguarding the document files on PCs and servers.

 

Vir.IT Backup => utility built-in Vir.IT eXplorer PRO

Vir.IT eXplorer PRO users, if they do not yet have any backup copies of their most valuable files, can start creating them with the Vir.IT Backup utility built into Vir.IT Security Monitor.

With it, users will be able to initially configure, and later automatically make backup copies of their data protected by Vir.IT's resident shield.

TG Soft Cyber Security Specialist has developed an advanced backup system specifically designed to preserve backup files from encryption by one or more ransomware. In this way, a rapid recovery of key files/folders from day-to-day work, can be achieved.

It is a PROPRIETARY technology built into Vir.IT eXplorer PRO. For more information on Vir.IT Backup, please see the features available at the following link: Protect your most valuable data with Vir.IT Backup
