Crypto attack? It won't happen to my business

What happens if your business falls victim to a crypto attack? Could you run the risk of losing all your data? Getting locked out of your emails for 48 hours? What would the potential loss in revenue be for your business?

“Organisations often think that email security threats won’t happen in their business – but crypto attacks are a reality in any business, and could have crippling repercussions,” ICT company Uthanda cautions.

“One of our clients had a large ERP system that ran every aspect of their business. They were hit by a crypto-attack that resulted in the entire system going down for 48 hours – from email to stock management. The resultant loss was in excess of R300,000.”

With email as the lifeblood of corporate communication and the gateway to any business, securing your email data should be a priority in your business.
