1). DATA RECOVERY: Cyber Attack Recovery: What Every SME Must Do Immediately to Protect Their Digital Assets Cyber-attacks are fast, quiet, and devastating. Most Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are unprepared. One mistake, one breach, and years of work vanish. Andy Butler, CEO of R3DataRecovery, has spent decades helping businesses survive.

Attackers often demand payment in cryptocurrencies to maintain anonymity. The encryption renders files inaccessible, effectively locking users out of their own data.
