Ransomware encrypts your files, cuts off access and usually demands payment in cryptocurrency. Paying guarantees neither the integrity of your data nor your reputation; what really counts is prevention and a route back.

At Kalkhan the ransomware chain (honeypot, VSS Rollback, Shelter) is part of the Anti-Virus package — there is no separate “Anti-Ransomware license” to buy. This article is not a scoreboard; it is a checklist anyone can put into practice.

Paying the ransom is not a solution — preventive protection, backups and a fast response are what matter.

Checklist

  • Never open suspicious email attachments or “enable macros” prompts
  • Keep the operating system and your software patched
  • 3-2-1 backups: three copies, two types of media, one offline and disconnected
  • Leave ransomware behavior protection switched on at the endpoint
  • During an incident, isolate the network and get help before deleting any encrypted files

If you have been hit, fill in the ransomware response form or call +90 850 309 5546. For the technical depth: ransomware protection · the endpoint article.
