There seems to be a new ransomware story every day - a new ransomware attack, a new ransomware technique, criminals not providing encryption keys after receiving ransom payments, private data being publicly released by ransomware attackers-it never ends.
A recent whitepaper about new ways XDR platform protects from ransomware notes that small to medium-sized enterprises are particularly vulnerable to ransomware attacks.
Cynet's new ransomware protection overview lays out how the company relies on multiple preventions, detection, and remediation layers to prevent its clients from falling victim to ransomware.
Cynet's solution starts with multiple preventions and detection techniques, including common next-generation antivirus, and adds in real-time memory protection to detect ransomware behaviors from unknown variants, critical component filtering to prevent ransomware from harvesting credentials and spreading, real-time file filtering to prevent ransomware from altering existing files and deception technology to lure ransomware into accessing decoy hosts and files.
While most ransomware protection solution providers focus almost exclusively on prevention and detection, Cynet also places considerable emphasis on quickly and thoroughly responding to ransomware attacks post-detection.
