Ransomware isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a serious threat that’s crippling small businesses across the country. And if you think your law firm, medical office, or CPA practice isn’t a target, think again.

Cybercriminals are going after local service businesses because they know one thing: you can’t afford downtime, and you can’t risk losing sensitive client data.

💻 What Is Ransomware — and Why Should You Care?

Ransomware is a type of cyberattack where hackers lock down your files and demand a ransom — often thousands of dollars — to restore access.

The files they target?

  • Patient records
  • Legal documents
  • Financial spreadsheets
  • Project files and sensitive client communications

Once encrypted, you’re stuck. Either pay up or risk losing everything.

🎯 Why Professional Service Firms Are Big Targets

Local businesses like yours are especially vulnerable because:

  • You handle valuable, confidential data
  • You often have limited or no in-house IT staff
  • Downtime is costly — every hour lost = lost revenue

And attackers know that most small businesses aren’t properly backed up.

🔐 The BEST Protection Against Ransomware: Immutable Backups

Here’s the good news: even if ransomware gets in, it doesn’t have to take you down.

The most effective defense? Immutable backups.

What are they?

Immutable backups are backup files that cannot be altered or deleted — not even by hackers or ransomware. That means:

✅ Your data is safely stored in a “read-only” format
✅ If you’re attacked, you can restore your files without paying a ransom
✅ You maintain control, no matter what the hackers try

This is the gold standard in ransomware protection — and it’s what we recommend to every single client we support.
