10 essential steps to prepare and prevent ransomware

SECURITY
Ransomware and cybercrime is at an all-time high and getting tougher to prevent. Xterra has a Security First philosophy and we put that philosophy into action by investing time, money, and people into defining and deploying a NIST-based security framework. Security is a journey, not a destination, and we will help guide you and your team in securing your organizations’ computers, networks, programs, data, and people to keep them safe and secure.
To be able to partner with somebody that I trust, it’s the only way my company survives. I can’t go a day without Xterra. They’re amazing.

All Endpoint protection is not made the same. Xterra uses best of breed technologies for both traditional Anti-malware and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) tools. Ensure that your Endpoint security acts as your cybersecurity’s frontline, helping to secure your computers, servers, and cloud systems 24x7x365.
Organizations of every size are at risk from nation-states, ransomware, bad actors, as well as malicious or even accidental insider threats. Of all successful cyber attacks, 95% are caused by human error. Our in-person training, live webinars, recorded training, and simulated phishing produce actionable awareness on the fundamentals of information security, social engineering, malware, and industry-specific compliance topics. As a result, we’ll increase your staff’s resilience to cyber attacks in the office, on the move, and working from home.
Even if you don’t know what Protective DNS is – The National Security Agency (NSA); the Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and Security Agency (CISA); and the Department of Defense (DoD) all recommend using a Protective DNS platform for security. Unfortunately, this basic security technology is missing from the tech stack of many organizations. Xterra helps you take advantage of this service by layering in Protective DNS with our operational maturity – we protect roaming laptops, company networks, and guide users on setting this up on their home networks. This solution provides another layer of protection beyond the typical firewall or antivirus by foiling dangerous requests before compromise can happen.
Let’s schedule a call. We’d love to learn about your business and see how we can help!
The Dark Web is where cybercriminals go to buy drugs, guns, malware, and your company’s credentials. It’s the marketplace for your organization’s breached data and the feeding ground for new scams and malware. Thousands of email addresses, passwords and other sensitive data land on the Dark Web every day, creating risk for your business — and you may not even know about a vulnerability until it’s too late. Xterra will contact users immediately if their credentials or personally identifiable information has been found on the Dark Web. This provides an opportunity to change passwords, avoid social media scams, and trace back data breaches.
Traditional passwords aren’t secure enough anymore. A Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solution can block over 99% of account compromise incidents. It’s why your bank texts you a code when you need to see your account balance. Your identity is valuable and should be protected by more than just a password. Add MFA to every login to make your accounts more secure from compromised passwords, hacking attempts, and impersonation scams.
