[Cybersecurity Awareness Month]: Keeping Enkryptor At Bay: How We All Can Help Beat Back Ransomware
KnowBe4, Monday, October 20th, 2025
Ransomware is the gift that keeps on giving. and taking. I've been tracking ransomware for almost nine years now, and I've seen it progress from simple and annoying malware to an organization-ending threat for many.
I'm not big on pushing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt), so when I say that it is one of the biggest cyberthreats to organizations in the small and medium-sized business space, I am not exaggerating.
I think this is why I resonate with the Enkryptor villain from our 2025 Cybersecurity Awareness Month Kit. Eight bits of badness armed with a 'Ran-staff', this villain is set to not only encrypt files, but also to steal a copy of them, making ransom negotiations even more challenging.
