This area is probably the most difficult attack vector to deal with and also the one where firms are likely the most vulnerable. Spear phishing emails can be tailored to a particular individual and be difficult to detect. Mass distribution phishing emails have gotten much more sophisticated. Your FileMaker server may not be as vulnerable as a general end-user computer, since you’re not likely to have personal email configured on a server, and servers are generally managed by more technically sophisticated users. So educating yourself and your users about phishing is the primary line of defense against such attacks. In our discussions on the phishing threat, several of our team advocated for simply never clicking on a URL in an email and instead always going to your browser and navigating directly to the desired web page. If you don’t take that step as a matter of habit, you should certainly always be checking the domain shown in your address bar and making sure you see the SSL ‘lock’ icon in the address bar. Generally speaking, anti-malware, anti-spam, and email filtering should also be considered to help limit phishing attacks, depending on your environment. If your server is the subject of a successful ransomware attack, it would be safe to assume that all your FileMaker files, including all normal FileMaker backups, are now encrypted and useless unless you pay the ransom. This means that you are depending on your offsite backup. We just recently updated our offsite backup strategy to go back a little further in time, since some ransomware attacks intentionally delay themselves to give time for your backups to get infected.

The key is that your offsite backup needs to be inaccessible to the ransomware software and that you are able to go back to a point in time before the ransomware infection. #Filemaker pro for mac capacity software# We use Acronis and are relying on the ransomware not being somehow tailored to reach through the Acronis client to reach the Acronis backup servers. Such a level of sophistication is something that I’m sure Acronis views as impossible and, to the best of my knowledge, is at least incredibly unlikely.
