Ransomware Awareness Training for Employees
A finance team member opens a PDF labeled “Q4 Invoice Reconciliation.” The file came from what looks like a known vendor. Thirty seconds later, file extensions on her desktop start changing. Documents she opened yesterday now end in .locked. Programs freeze. A full-screen message appears with a Bitcoin address and a 48-hour countdown.
She pulls her ethernet cable. Calls IT. Does not touch the power button.
That instinct saved her company roughly two weeks of recovery time, because she had trained for this exact moment.
