Every organization should be prepared to respond to ransomware, including the potential operational disruptions that come with that response.

While we tend to focus on the response to ransomware, prevention is still the best way to deal with the threat. Ransomware doesn’t magically appear on systems, and the methods by which it’s introduced into an environment are generally well understood: phishing, vulnerability exploits, and misconfigurations. Identifying and addressing the weak points in your security posture can help prevent ransomware, as well as other attacks, from being successful.

We see an imbalance of headlines for ransomware attacks because they are the easiest to identify. Ransomware simply can’t be successful in getting the ransom paid without announcing itself. It’s important to keep in mind that other types of attacks are still out there, if not as readily recognizable.
