Malware vs. ransomware: What’s the difference?

Malware is a term for malicious software that can cause harm to devices or systems. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts or locks digital resources, demanding a ransom for access restoration. Other types of malware include Trojans, worms, adware, rootkits, and viruses. To protect against these threats, enterprises should employ in-depth security strategies, such as security awareness training for employees, creating offline data backups, and regular software updates.
