Malware Solution for Social Media by Endpoint Protection

Ransomware has been one of the greatest cybersecurity threats of 2016. Ransomware is appealing to criminals because the payout if often large and immediate. Ransomware attackers encrypt user files and then rely on the users to be too flustered and desperate to refuse to pay the ransom. Ransomware was used to attack multiple hospitals in 2016, including Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, Kansas Heart Hospital, and MedStar Health in Washington D.C. Scammers have been using ransomware to prevent organizations from having access to the files and databases that are critical to their business processes.

Promisec Endpoint Manager (PEM) lets companies control who has access to their networks, and prevents malware from running rampant on devices. PEM inspects every aspect of endpoint assets and scans corporate networks for malware and unauthorized users.

Sometimes companies go for months without detecting malware, but PEM immediately knows when systems are no longer compliant with corporate security standards. This enables IT teams to quickly identify vulnerabilities and determine overall endpoint risk throughout the company’s networks. PEM’s File Integrity Monitoring & File Reputation agentless technology lets IT teams know exactly which files and processes have been compromised with malware. Scammers are using social media to spread ransomware indiscriminately, but companies can protect their networks and devices by using powerful endpoint protection software.
