What is Ransomware? 🔒

Ransomware is an aggressive cyber threat that locks down enterprise systems through encryption and holds data hostage for financial extortion.

🛑 Encryption: Locks critical database and file systems.
📢 Double Extortion: Threatens to leak stolen sensitive data online.

Recovery relies on resilience, not payment. Always enforce the 3-2-1 backup rule and network segmentation! 🛡️
