Firewall first: Blocking ransomware before it hits
Videos|7 November 2025
Why blocking ransomware is important
The average recovery cost following a ransomware attack has soared to over £2 million, according to Sophos' latest State of Ransomware Report. More than a third of victimised businesses take longer than a month to get back to normal operations. It’s critical that you take a multi-layered approach to ransomware defence. The heart of this defence is the network firewall.
