How do I protect my small business from ransomware?

Protect a Pennsylvania small business from ransomware with layered backups you have tested, MFA on email and remote access, EDR on every PC and server, and a person who will answer when something looks wrong.

Coulson Technologies includes those controls in managed cybersecurity for York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg businesses — we do not sell a magic box.

A backup is only useful if it can be restored when you need it. Review what is backed up, where it is stored, how recent it is, and whether the restore process has been tested. Keep recovery steps and responsibilities clear before an incident creates pressure.

MFA adds another check beyond a password. Use it for email and remote access, where stolen credentials can otherwise create a direct path into business systems.

Endpoint detection and response watches PCs and servers for suspicious behavior. It belongs alongside email security, employee awareness, patching, and a response plan.
