Data security is a primary concern in any digital environment, and Microsoft Access, as a widely used database management tool, is not immune to cyber threats. One of the most damaging forms of attack is ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts a system’s data and demands a ransom to restore access.
When Microsoft Access is compromised by ransomware, the implications are serious, as the databases store critical information for companies and organizations. Ransomware usually infiltrates systems through phishing, malicious downloads or unpatched security vulnerabilities. Once inside, it begins to encrypt the database files, making them inaccessible.
The encryption process employed by ransomware uses complex algorithms that transform the data into an unreadable form, making it practically impossible to recover the information without the correct decryption key, which is kept under the control of the cybercriminals.
The impacts of this attack are significant. Companies can lose access to critical customer data, financial records, employee information and much more. In addition, the resulting downtime can lead to financial losses, reputational damage and substantial operational impacts.
In the event of a successful ransomware attack, the best approach is to have an incident response plan. This can include notifying competent authorities, assessing the impact of the attack, communicating transparently with clients and stakeholders, and considering whether or not to pay the ransom, although the latter is generally discouraged.
There are solutions that can recover all files infected by ransomware, even without the decryption key. These solutions are offered by Digital Recovery.
Recover Ransomware in Microsoft Access
Microsoft Access can be decrypted when encrypted by ransomware. With over 25 years’ experience, Digital Recovery develops technologies for recovering from ransomware on most storage devices.
The solutions developed are exclusive and can be carried out remotely in the vast majority of cases of data loss. These solutions have been developed on the basis of the General Data Protection Act (LGPD) in order to offer total security during the recovery process.
For cases of extreme urgency, an emergency recovery mode was developed, in which the laboratories operate with 24×7 availability.
