Ransomware has been a dominant cybersecurity threat for the better part of the last decade. However, it doesn’t walk alone. It’s almost always the eventual payload delivered by earlier-stage malicious software or activity. Luckily, if you can detect the threats that deliver the ransomware, you can stop the ransomware before it arrives.

In this talk, we’ll extensively reference Red Canary’s 2022 Threat Detection Report, examining the malware and other malicious tools that adversaries often use to deliver ransomware. While the specific trojans and strains of ransomware may change from one attack to the next, adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures are often similar across campaigns and threats. By developing robust detection coverage for the techniques adversaries abuse most often, rather than focusing on individual threats, security teams can achieve defense-in-depth against the many threats that leverage those techniques and the broader trends that dominate the infosec landscape.

Want to learn more about the prevalent adversary techniques and threats that can lead to a ransomware infection? Attendees will leave with:

• A better understanding of the threats and tools that commonly precede a ransomware infection
• Guidance on relevant collection and data sources that offer visibility into the threats and techniques that adversaries use to deliver ransomware
• Actionable information on how security teams can develop the capacity to detect, prevent, and mitigate ransomware and other threats
• Strategies for testing their ability to observe and detect common threats with free and easy-to-use tools like Atomic Red Team

Ransomware attacks continue to rise in volume, severity, and costs to businesses attacked while cyber criminals continue inventing new and unexpected methods to spread malware and encrypt critical data. As attacks continue to specialize, no organization is immune to ransomware. So how do you avoid being forced to pay a ransom, disruptions to services and supply chains, and damage to your brand in the news? Join recovery and data protection experts from Zerto to discuss best practices for when – not if – ransomware strikes. Be prepared to minimize downtime, data loss, and mitigate the risks of ransomware. In this session, you’ll learn:

• Ransomware 101: A breakdown of a ransomware attack and how it affects systems
• Steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of attacks on your system
• How to choose a best-in-class recovery solution for ransomware
• How you can best harden your recovery systems against attacks
• How to create a recovery plan to react and recover quickly
• Real example of a company hit twice by ransomware and how they improved recovery time from weeks to minutes by planning ahead

Join this session for a comprehensive look at the current state of cybersecurity. Today’s ever-evolving threat landscape requires an integrated, automated approach to security. Learn how you can mitigate risk in your organization, optimize your security team’s operations, and gain best practices to integrate and consolidate your security tools; whether you’ve taken a multi-vendor or single-vendor approach.

Despite consistent increases in security spending, ransomware remains an ever-growing threat to businesses. Surprisingly, the ransomware itself, the malware that does the encryption, is only a part of a larger, equally dangerous, attack chain. Considering the entire chain offers defenders more opportunities to thwart the attack before mass encryption can occur.

In this session, we’ll provide details on how microsegmentation can prevent adversarial techniques that precede and follow the deployment of ransomware itself. By turning our attention to the entire kill chain, a path towards minimizing the likelihood, impact, and recovery time of ransomware becomes clear.

In this session you will learn:

• Practical steps you can take to disrupt the kill chain before ransomware can be deployed
• How to leverage AI to map complex environments and expedite the path towards policy enforcement that drastically reduces the impact of ransomware
• How advancements in host-based segmentation are helping businesses achieve an infrastructure that enables rapid remediation of ransomware events without disrupting business operations

With cyber-attackers continuously searching for new ways to outpace security teams, it can lead to a struggle to fight back without disrupting business operations. Join this session to explore the benefits of Autonomous Response as a must-have that goes beyond ‘defense,’ including real-world threat finds and attack scenarios.
