Speaking on the occasion, Saurabh Sengupta, Associate General Manager (East), Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, “We are market leaders in India with around 30% market share in the retail segment. Our esteemed customers have been a major community to whom we owe this success.”

Recently, Quick Heal has been innovating to support its customers in combating the growing threat of Ransomware, which is a type of malware program that infects, locks or takes control of a system and demands ransom to undo it. It has quite a few variants and the numbers are rising.
According to Quick Heal’s Q2 2016 Threat Report, Ransomware variants will keep rising in the coming quarter as well. The cryptxxx ransomware is suspected to hit its targets with new and more advanced variants. Locky ransomware is expected to remain complicated because of its continuously changing internal coding and obfuscation techniques.
Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) is another trend which is gaining momentum. In RaaS, malware, authors sell ransomware along with a customizable kit through the online black market. Interested people can register and download them for free or a nominal fee. Once the ransomware file is customized as per the requirement, it is then spread through the desired infection vectors.
