Skeeve - all the prevention in the world sometimes doesn't work. The<br>
trojan slips through, the tired worker clicks... And the more you do<br>
with IT the more likely it is to happen. We have lots of customers -<br>
ransomware attacks are a certainty.<br>
<br>
The key is to have backups and a plan.<br>
<br>
Our customers have been hit too - and we've got them up and running<br>
from good, current backups. It costs them a day or two of<br>
inconvenience, and they lose a few hours work. We (and they) consider<br>
that a very good thing. Testament to our fantastic skills, in fact :-)<br>
<br>
