Protect your business from ransomware with Chrome OS

Crimes involving extortion viruses have increased sharply in connection with the global transition to hybrid work and remote work. Blackmail virus encrypts data and makes it inaccessible to users, which poses costly threats to organizations in all industries.

Chrome OS is a cloud first platform that provides protection against blackmail viruses by default. In fact, no blackmail virus attacks have ever been reported for Chrome OS devices, either from businesses, education, or individuals.
