Emerging AI-based data governance solutions offer an additional weapon for the ransomware fight: situational awareness informed by deep insights into content.

Armed with an understanding of the attack process and empowered with insights into your content, you'll have what you need to minimize damage before, during, and after ransomware incidents.

It's a damage-limitation strategy that assumes - as you should - that a ransomware attacker will eventually gain control of one or more of your accounts.

It's a powerful tool that helps limit unnecessary access - and the ransomware risks that come with it.

Content awareness also helps when it comes to the detection of attacks in progress, because ransomware exploits differ from other cybercrime in one critical way: The criminals don't need to take possession of data.

Ransomware attack detection strategies seek to monitor encryption activity and encryption artifacts at the file level.
