A new whitepaper from XDR provider Cynet demonstrates how the company's platform can help organizations mitigate the impact of ransomware.
The whitepaper by Cynet explains how the XDR platform works to protect users from ransomware attacks.
That's not always possible, and if ransomware does manage to breach an endpoint, it's critical to have a full view of the environment and be able to detect the infection and kill all related ransomware processes.
Cynet breaks down how its platform relies on a variety of prevention, detection, and remediation layers that protect its customers from ransomware attacks.
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.
