Ransomware attacks can be incredibly stressful. Unlike previous strains that were opportunistic and relatively small in scope, modern ransomware targets entire organizations and uses sophisticated tactics to encrypt, destroy and steal data with little chance of recovery.
Whilst prevention is always the best form of defense, this edition of Insight Space explores how organizations can equip themselves to effectively respond to an attack.
In this edition of Insight Space, we analyze the ransomware landscape, including recent trends like the growth of ransomware-as-a-service attacks, and explain what that means for your organization.
We also explore how ransomware tactics, techniques and procedures have evolved, providing practical advice on how you can prevent ransomware from infecting your organization. Finally, we summarize four steps that you should take if you do fall victim to a ransomware attack, helping to ensure that you can recover as effectively as possible.
