Catch the Threat Before it Catches you: Proactive Ransomware Defense

With the frequency of ransomware attacks steading increasing and 59% of organizations hit with attacks last year, ransomware is one of the topmost concerns for CISOs today. Recovery is costly and it goes well beyond the ransom payment. Cost of downtime alone, excluding ransoms paid and reputational damage, is $43.2 M on average. Disruption to businesses could include shutting down of critical city services or hotel reservations not going through after an attack. It takes on an average 22 days to recover which is too long a time for a business to be impacted.

AI coding tools make it easier for threat actors to create 30 to 40% more variants making it too easy and profitable for the cybercriminals. Once the initial compromise has happened, it only takes about 62 minutes for the attack to break out and start to spread, giving organizations very little time to gain operational control.

Most security tools are malware centric and try to look for malware and its behavior, often after an incident has occurred. This is a reactive approach and often too late.

What if you could block ransomware BEFORE it is even created?

What if you could make your existing security tools more effective?

With DNS threat intelligence, it is much harder for ransomware actors to hide. Tracking domains owned by threat actors even before they start creating and deploying the attack helps in proactive identification and blocking of ransomware threats. The first DNS query to these domains can be blocked protecting organizations at the earliest point in the attack.
