Ransomware is a real threat to global economies. It is possibly the first case of a cyber issue that has gone mainstream to the point that almost everyone knows what it means and how it can affect people. It causes disruptions to everything from energy to healthcare and civil society, and it shows no signs of stopping. So how did we get here?
Data breaches and hacks have traditionally involved an attacker breaching a system, stealing data and leaving by the back door, only to hopefully be discovered shortly after. Think of it as harvesting another person’s field and stealing all their crops.
Ransomware, on the other hand, has evolved to where an attacker can plant their own malicious crops in your field (weeds), making the field and harvest unusable and possibly also stealing the existing crops. This change in an attacker’s approach results in long-lasting damage — not just theft, but disruption to systems, expanding the duration of damage to the victim.There are three key ways to be more resilient against ransomware, and although none of them are new, they’re still worth examining: identifying exposed areas of your digital estate, more recently known as attack external surface management (EASM); establishing a regular cadence of vulnerability detection and ensuring accuracy; and making frequent backups of critical data.
