How ISO 27001 Helps Prevent Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks are among the most damaging cyber threats today, but ISO 27001 provides a strong framework to defend against them. By enforcing structured risk assessments, strict access controls, regular data backups, and continuous monitoring, ISO 27001 helps organizations reduce vulnerabilities and respond quickly if an attack occurs. It also emphasizes employee awareness and training, ensuring that staff can recognize and avoid common ransomware tactics like phishing. Implementing ISO 27001 not only strengthens resilience against ransomware but also builds trust with stakeholders by demonstrating a proactive commitment to data protection and regulatory compliance.
