Multi-Layered Ransomware Protection

Multi-Layered Ransomware Protection: How to Build a Fortress for Your Business
Ransomware isn’t just a buzzword anymore — it’s one of the most dangerous and costly cyber threats businesses face today.
Imagine this: One of your staff clicks a seemingly harmless email. Within minutes, all your files — invoices, customer data, records — are locked and encrypted, with a demand for thousands of dollars to get them back.
Scary? Unfortunately, this is the reality for thousands of businesses every year. But here’s the good news:
Ransomware is preventable.
And the best defence? A multi-layered protection strategy.
Let’s break it down and show how Covenant Defence helps businesses like yours stay secure, no matter the threat.
🎯 What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software that locks or encrypts your files and demands payment (usually in cryptocurrency) to restore access. Newer strains also threaten to leak stolen data online, adding extra pressure.
Common ways ransomware gets in:
Phishing emails with infected attachments
Malicious websites or pop-ups
Unpatched software vulnerabilities
Compromised remote desktop access
USB devices or shared drives
🧱 What Is Multi-Layered Protection?
Think of your cybersecurity like a medieval castle. A moat, walls, archers, and watchtowers all work together to stop intruders.
Multi-layered protection is the same idea — multiple defences working together to keep ransomware out and contain it if it breaks through.
Here’s how we do it at Covenant Defence:
🧩 The 6 Layers of Ransomware Protection
1.
Email and Phishing Protection
✉️
We stop ransomware before it even reaches your team’s inboxes using:
Advanced phishing filters
Attachment scanning
Link analysis
Domain spoofing detection
📦 We recommend ProtonMail for businesses — encrypted, secure, and privacy-respecting.
2.
Endpoint Security (with SentinelOne)
💻
If ransomware tries to run on a device, SentinelOne’s AI stops it instantly.
Real-time behaviour monitoring
Automated threat isolation
Ransomware rollback (restore files without paying) on Windows Devices
Offline protection — even without internet
3.
Strong Authentication and Password Hygiene
🔐
We implement:
Strong, unique passwords with ProtonPass
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all logins
Dark web monitoring for exposed credentials
4.
Patch Management & Software Updates
🧩
Ransomware often exploits known software flaws. We keep your systems updated and patched to close every vulnerability.
We help automate patching for Windows, macOS, browsers and more.
Automated, Offline Backups
☁️
Even with the best defences, a backup is your safety net.
Daily, encrypted backups
Stored securely offline
Quick recovery without paying the ransom
We help you set up and test your backups — before you need them.
6.
User Awareness Training
🧠
Most ransomware starts with a human mistake. A 45-minute training session can prevent a costly breach.
Spotting phishing emails
Safe browsing practices
Secure file sharing
We provide simple, non-technical training for teams of all sizes.
