The threat many businesses underestimate until it’s too late  Across Nigeria and Ghana, ransomware attacks are no longer targeting only banks or large enterprises. SMEs, logistics firms, hospitals, schools, manufacturers, and professional service firms are now prime targets. Why? Because attackers know many organisations still rely on outdated antivirus tools and weak security controls.  Here’s the uncomfortable reality: it only takes one employee clicking the wrong email or plugging in an infected device to shut down your entire business. And by the time ransom demands appear, the damage is already done.  Why ransomware is now a business survival issue  Ransomware doesn’t just encrypt files. It stops operations, damages reputation, and creates financial pressure that many organisations cannot absorb. In Nigeria and Ghana, where downtime already carries high operational costs, a single attack can mean weeks of lost productivity or permanent closure.  This is why forward‑thinking organisations are moving beyond basic antivirus to Sophos’ advanced ransomware protection.  How Sophos stops ransomware before it destroys your business  Sophos goes beyond signature-based detection.
