Many enterprises use an XDR (Extended Detection & Response application) which is a significant player in the fight, but not the only component necessary to securely shield your data from attacks. This is why it’s necessary to have a multifaceted approach to your defense. Ransomware is not only vicious, it’s complicated to defend.
The Cybersecurity Special Publication (SP) 1800-25 lays out the steps to having a comprehensive strategy around protecting assets. Thankfully the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released guidance on identifying and protecting assets against ransomware. Unfortunately, ransomware is a complex cybersecurity problem with no silver bullet to address this menace. Ransomware gangs have targeted critical infrastructure, meat processing plants, and massive supply chain attacks on Solarwinds more recently, which have led to data theft and forced shutdown of operations in large enterprises. The second ransom payment to get cybercriminals to hand over the decryption key, for the victim to gain back access to their data. One ransom payment to prevent cybercriminals from disclosing the sensitive data they have stolen before encrypting it. Ransomware, in a nutshell, is a vicious type of malware that cybercriminals use to block access to your entire system or specific sensitive files/databases, until you or your company pays a ransom.
