Adlumin Insights: Ransomware

Cybercrime is a two-sided coin. On the one side, the industrialization of cybercrime and ransomware will operate with impunity. Meaning attack volumes and sophistication will continue to rise. On the other side, far too many organizations think they are not a target and are incapable of stopping sophisticated cyber adversaries.

According to Enterprise Strategy Group’s independent research, 79% of today’s organizations have experienced a ransomware attack in the past 12 months. The hard truth is, many businesses think they’re prepared – that is, until ransomware actually strikes.

In this session, ESG Principal Analyst Dave Gruber presents essential threat intelligence and actionable insights based on his extensive field experience regarding the top ransomware trends today and best practices for surviving an attack. Topics covered inside include:

• Ransomware by-the-numbers: ESG’s most pressing threat statistics
• Critical decision points during an attack (and why they matter)
• ESG’s unbiased advice for achieving a winning ransomware defense strategy
• And much more.

Ransomware continues to make headlines as attacks impact various industries including healthcare, education, and, more recently, car dealerships. As cybercriminals expand their targets, organizations need to consider not only how to prevent ransomware but also how to mitigate it when an attack happens.

Join Mark Sangster, VP, Chief of Strategy, as he breaks down real-world cybercrime examples from his upcoming book Cyber-Conscious Leadership: A Practical Guide to Protecting Your Organization Against Cyber Crime. Additionally, Sangster will explore Adlumin’s new ransomware feature.

As a thank you for joining the webinar, we’ll share our Threat Insights 2024 Volume II with all attendees during the session.

"Fog," a variant of the STOP/DJVU ransomware family, exploits compromised VPN credentials to breach defenses. In August 2024, a mid-sized financial institution became the first in its sector to be targeted by this variant, but Adlumin’s technology isolated and locked the attackers out.

Join Adlumin experts, Kevin O’Connor, Director of Threat Research, and Will Ledesma, Senior Managed Detection and Response Director, as they walk you through the details of the recent attack, and how Adlumin’s Ransomware Prevention and Exfiltration feature thwarted the attack in its early stages, containing the threat before it could cause any damage.

Key Takeaways:
- An overview of international FOG threat actors and their evolving tactics
- A step-by-step breakdown of the data breach attempt and how Adlumin’s Ransomware Prevention stopped the attack
- Best practices for strengthening your organization's defense against similar threats from cross-border cyber attacks

Whether you're a cybersecurity professional or an IT leader, this webinar will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies to keep your organization from the ever-present threat of global Fog threat actors.
