Prevention with proactive measures that anticipate events is the best strategy for computer security. No one, be it consumers or large companies, is completely safe, and if a cyber attack does happen, it is advisable to know how to react, especially when important business data is at risk.

Staying safe from cyber attacks is a challenge in today’s world. The number and capacity of threats that threaten consumers and companies is growing. The number of devices connected to the Internet continues to grow, and the era of hybrid work (here to stay) merges professional and home tasks, which hinders the security of data, devices and users.

Know what to do (and what not to do) If your company falls victim to a cyber attack, our colleagues at verypymes have another one planned February 7 at 10 ama free webinar in partnership with cybersecurity firm Sophos that we highly recommend.

This webinar presents a typical case (ransomware attack), which unfortunately can happen at any time: Imagine getting a call from your SMB’s network administrator any day because of a security emergency. Cybercriminals have taken over your company’s important data, and you can’t access it unless you pay a hefty ransom.

If your computer is slower than normal, your system shows random errors, your web browser freezes trying to get rid of strange ads, or you can’t access your documents and files, you may be suffering from a digital infection that, in addition to preventing you from regularly using your device, is putting your data at risk.

What to do in such a scenario? The webinar will bring together an interesting group of cyber security experts who will live discuss the following topics and answer any questions you may have:

• Néstor Rodríguez, Commercial Director of MatErh
• Álvaro Fernández, Business Manager at Sophos Iberia
• Juan José Librero, MGI
• Elisabeth Rojas, MuyPymes Coordinator

Don’t miss this interesting webinar that will allow you to be prepared in case cybercriminals target you. Sign up now and we’ll remind you when to join. Remember, even the smallest businesses are not safe!
