Build Resilience Against Ransomware Attacks
Prevent ransomware incursions and defend against ransomware attacks.
- Sophisticated ransomware attacks are on the rise and evolving quickly.
- Executives want reassurance but are not ready to write a blank check. We need to provide targeted and justified improvements.
- Emerging strains can exfiltrate sensitive data, encrypt systems, and destroy backups in hours, which makes recovery a grueling challenge.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Malicious agents design progressive, disruptive attacks to pressure organizations to pay a ransom.
- Organizations misunderstand ransomware risk scenarios, which obscures the likelihood and impact of an attack.
- Conventional approaches focus on response and recovery, which do nothing to prevent an attack and are often ineffective against sophisticated attacks.
Impact and Result
- Conduct a thorough assessment of your current state; identify potential gaps and assess the possible outcomes of an attack.
- Analyze attack vectors and prioritize controls that prevent ransomware attacks, and implement ransomware protections and detection to reduce your attack surface.
- Visualize, plan, and practice your response and recovery to reduce the potential impact of an attack.
