Automated and rapid response systems are necessary to respond to cybersecurity breaches, which have become more potent each year, while ransomware is now a government-level issue.
While much of the focus is often placed on preventing cyberbreaches, it’s vital to plan for a rapid response once the worst has occurred.
Throughout IT, cybercriminals are exploiting vulnerabilities in record time and have forged ahead off the back of commoditized toolkits made available through the dark web – known as cybercrime-as-a-service.
Ransomware is becoming a thorn in the side of digitization, and each financial quarter it seems is punctuated with reports of a major breach.
Given the scale of the threat, enterprises must prioritize which responses to mount first in case of an attack, according to Dr. Pranshu Bajpai, a security researcher commenting as an independent field expert.
“After gaining initial access, ransomware often seek lateral movement to infiltrate deeper into internal environments,” he said.
A glance at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s database provides little comfort. As of early August 2021, the U.S watchdog and research board had already processed 63 potential new flaws that month, and nearly 1,600 in July.
