Ransomware remains a top security concern for executives because of its difficulty to defend against and its potential to cause widespread organizational impact. Traditionally, ransomware is delivered through phishing emails containing malicious attachments or links. Once executed, the ransomware begins encrypting or locking critical files and systems. However, attackers have increasingly shifted to exploiting Internet-facing servers, often leveraging living off the land tools. This evolution makes detection and prevention more challenging, while amplifying the disruption
to business operations.
Fortunately, many organizations already possess tools to combat this threat. Privileged Access Management (PAM) technologies, which enforce granular or host-based policy controls, can neutralize many ransomware attack vectors. Download our latest brief to learn how Symantec® PAM mitigates the three most common activities seen in successful ransomware attacks.
Traditionally, ransomware is delivered through phishing emails. However, attackers have increasingly shifted to exploiting Internet-facing servers. This evolution requires a different approach – privileged access management.
