More than just encrypted files
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts systems and demands a ransom. But ransomware is often a symptom of a larger breach. Before the encryption begins, the attacker already has access to your network, credentials have been stolen, and data is being exfiltrated.
The real dangers
- Network intrusion — Someone has infiltrated your network
- Stolen credentials — Employee accounts have been compromised
- Business processes — Critical systems can be brought down
- Data theft — Beyond encryption, data is also being stolen
Prevent ransomware
Most ransomware attacks start with simple mistakes. With the right basic measures, you can prevent the vast majority of attacks.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
The most important fix, set up in minutes
Antivirus software
Scan systems regularly for threats
Restrict installations
Prevent employees from installing software themselves
Email awareness
Avoid links and attachments from unknown senders
Configuration hardening
Ensure all M365 settings are properly secured
Ransomware is often the symptom, not the cause
Targeted ransomware means someone has deliberately infiltrated your network. This implies stolen credentials, access to business processes, and potential data theft. The encryption is merely the final stage of an attack that may have been ongoing for weeks or months.
That's why it's crucial to not only focus on preventing ransomware itself, but on detecting the early signs of a breach. Attic continuously monitors your Microsoft 365 environment for suspicious activity and intervenes before it escalates.
