Stop it. Contain it. Recover fast.
Ransomware protection for Winnipeg businesses
Ransomware can lock every file and system you own in minutes. Finch Computers builds the layered ransomware protection Winnipeg and Manitoba businesses need: it blocks the most common entry points, limits the damage if something gets through and makes sure you can recover without paying a ransom.
Why it matters
Attacks are automated
Ransomware crews scan for weak passwords, unpatched systems and exposed remote access around the clock.
Backups are the first target
Modern ransomware tries to delete or encrypt your backups before it locks your files.
Downtime is the real cost
Even without paying a ransom, days without systems can cost more than prevention ever would.

common questions
Can ransomware be prevented completely?
No security is perfect, but layered defenses block the vast majority of attacks, and immutable backups mean you can recover without paying if one gets through.
What should we do if we are hit by ransomware?
Disconnect affected machines from the network, do not pay or contact the attackers, and call for help immediately. The faster an expert responds, the less damage is done.
Will paying the ransom get our data back?
There is no guarantee. Tested, isolated backups are the only reliable way to recover.
Is there official guidance on ransomware for Canadian businesses?
Yes. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security’s ransomware playbook explains how to prepare, respond and recover. Our ransomware protection Winnipeg services follow the same approach: layered prevention, isolated backups and a tested recovery plan.
What are the warning signs of a ransomware attack?
Common signs include files that suddenly will not open or have strange extensions, alerts about disabled antivirus, unexpected new admin accounts and systems slowing down at odd hours. If you see any of these, disconnect the affected computer from the network and contact us right away.
