Ransomware isn’t a new threat, but recent big-name attacks like Colonial Pipeline have brought it top-of-mind for security leaders. With limited time, budget, and expertise to work with, security teams are struggling to develop effective protection, detection, and response strategies for both known and unknown threat actors. The most effective ransomware defense strategies leverage a combination of prevention and detection techniques to create a layered architecture that mitigates risk, improves visibility, and enables defenders to respond in a timely fashion. By leveraging tools and technology that lower cost while increasing capabilities, organizations can optimize a key part of their threat protection program.
