Stages of a Ransomware Attack
Ransomware is a multi-stage problem. Darktrace is the only vendor with the multi-stage solution that autonomously and effectively contains the attack at any stage and ensures the attacker cannot progress.
To accomplish the initial entry, the attacker may launch their attack via a spear phishing email, RDP brute forcing (exposed internet service), malicious websites and drive-by downloads, an insider threat with company credentials, system and software vulnerabilities, or any number of other attack vectors. By constantly looking for novel ways into digital environments, attackers stay ahead of threat intelligence and can avoid traditional defenses. Just a single small vulnerability or oversight is enough for a threat actor to perform an initial compromise. Once the initial breach has been achieved and they find themselves inside an organization’s network, a massive range of attack vectors are opened up to attackers.
This data sheet shows the actions Antigena takes at each stage. But more than anything, it’s interesting because it shows every stage of the attack, from initial intrusion through to lateral movement through to encryption. Learn the tactics an attacker uses at each stage to evade detection from traditional tools, and how Darktrace still spots it and takes targeted action.
