Ransomware Protection for Small Business, Houston

Could ransomware stop your business for a week? The signs you are exposed, why a tested backup decides how bad it gets, and the fixes Repair Forge offers.

Ransomware locks your files and asks for money to unlock them. For a small office, the real cost is the days nobody can work, and whether the backup comes back.

Signs you are exposed

• Staff sign in to email with only a password.
• Everyday logins have admin rights on their computers.
• The only backup is a drive in the office, or a sync folder.
• Nobody has restored from the backup to see if it works.
• Updates wait until someone gets round to them.

Why it matters

Ransomware goes after anything it can reach, including backups on the same network. A business with a backup it has actually restored from is working again in days. One without may not get its files back at all, whether it pays or not.

What we do

We set up the security basics that close the common ways in, and we test your backup by restoring from it, so you know where you stand before anything happens. Each has a published price, with no monthly contract.

Questions

Should we pay the ransom?

That is a decision for you and your insurer. Paying does not guarantee the files come back. The better position is not having to decide: a backup you have restored from is what lets you say no.

Does antivirus stop ransomware?

It helps, but many attacks start with a stolen password or a click on a link, which antivirus does not cover. Two-factor on email, fewer admin rights and a tested backup cover what antivirus misses.

Start with whichever worries you more, or call and we will say which fits.
