Internet Security

Ransomware is a form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering them and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption.

This audiobook is for small business owners. My goal is to get small business owners out of the mindset that cyber threats are too big for their business. This is never the right mindset to keep because an attack can and will happen to you if you don’t have the proper cyber security in place. You have to put protection methods in place to keep your business safe in today’s cyber world.

Cyber attacks are a growing problem that’s affecting an increasing number of devices and people. The current numbers are staggering. Hackers create and deploy over 300,000 new malware programs every single day on networks, individual computers, and other devices. And there are nearly half a million ransomware attacks every year.

Cyber security is here to stay. Do you often wonder how cyber security applies to your everyday life, what’s at risk, and how can you specifically lock down your devices and digital trails to ensure you are now “hacked”? Our society has become saturated with internet-connected devices and trackers everywhere. From home routers to your mobile phones, most people are easily hacked if targeted. In this introductory audiobook, we will cover verified steps and tactics on how to increase the level of cyber security in an organization and as an individual.
