Module review
1. Module review
In this module, we covered problems associated with ransomware. Ransomware is a type of malicious software exploit that threatens to publish the victim's data or perpetually block access to their data unless a ransom is paid. Digital currencies, such as a cryptocurrency, are used for the ransoms, making tracing and prosecuting the perpetrators very difficult. Google Cloud provides multiple layers of protection against ransomware by default, with nothing for you to configure or enable. If you're a Gmail user, our security and filtering layers will prevent thousands of malicious attachments from ever reaching your organization’s inboxes. In Google Drive, all files will undergo a malware scan prior to any file download or file sharing attempt. There are also a few things you can do to help mitigate against ransomware including making regular backups, using IAM best practices, and leveraging the Cloud Data Loss Prevention API. Data misuse is the inappropriate use of any type of data (especially user data) and the consequences to business can be severe. Strategies for mitigation include: Classifying content, Scanning and redacting content, As well as removing inappropriate content before it is published. The Cloud Natural Language API can help quickly identify different categories of textual content so it can be classified. Google’s Vision API, Video Intelligence API and Cloud Data Loss Prevention API allow you to find sensitive and redact sensitive content, even when it is contained in images.2. Let's practice!
