Ransomware is an almost guaranteed danger that every organization must prepare for. This malicious software, also known as malware, threatens to publish a company’s critical data or block access to it unless a ransom is paid. It typically gains entry through insecure remote access, network vulnerabilities, software downloads or email attachments. With thousands of [attacks](https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ccips/file/872771/download#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20more%20than%204%2C000,risk%20posed%20to%20your%20organization.) every day in the U.S., ransomware is not a matter of if but when.

When you need immediate and reliable access to your tools and data, there's no time to wait on slow, buffering internet. Unfortunately, internet access continues to be one of the top reasons for business downtime.

When your internet is down, every minute counts. Without connectivity, your business-critical processes in the cloud are on hold and your employees less productive.
