Most ransomware comes via email. You need top notch spam control, train users not to open email from strangers and have daily offsite, offline rotating backups.

if I wanted to test how secure the network is against being hacked or Ransomware attack - where would I start? <br />
<br />
If I did something like the Certified Ethical Hacker Course or CREST Registered Penetration Tester. Would either of these courses help?<br />

Network Security

The cyber security specialization covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems, from the hardware to the software to the human-computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. Cyber security refers to the protection of personal or organizational information or information resources from unauthorized access, attacks, theft, or data damage. This includes controlling physical access to the hardware, as well as protecting against the harm that may come via network access, data and code injection, and due to malpractice by operators, whether intentional, accidental, or due to them being tricked into deviating from secure procedures.

Cyber Security

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
