Ransomware operations have evolved dramatically in recent months and years, and now leverage advanced tactics to infiltrate an organization. Security and risk management leaders need to look beyond just the endpoints to help protect the organization from ransomware. Fine-tuning incident response processes to specifically deal with ransomware is a key component for successful mitigation of these multi-stage attacks.

Consult this report to learn more about:
-
- Remote desktop protocol, bring your own PC, and virtual private network vulnerabilities and misconfiguration are becoming the most common entry point for attackers. This has been exacerbated by the growth in remote work resulting from the pandemic.
- The cost of recovery and the resulting downtime in the aftermath of a ransomware attack, as well as the reputational damage, can be 10 to 15 times more than the ransom.
- Get ready for ransomware attacks by constructing a pre-incident preparation strategy that includes backup, asset management and the restriction of user privileges. Determine whether the organization is ultimately prepared to pay a ransom or not.
- Implement detection measures by deploying behavioral-anomaly-based detection technologies to identify ransomware attacks, and build post-incident response procedures by training staff and scheduling regular drills.
