Why Ransomware Should not be Taken Lightly ?

The concept of attack is nothing new; the advanced approach that industry is taking forward to solve the problem occurring due to it is new. If we talk about old traditional ways of working that won’t stand out anywhere in the market now as the business are coming up on the digital platform very quickly.As digital platforms are helping to grow business rate easily by making it global.

There are thousands of bytes of data that flow in a network within a second.Though the data streaming would be fast but the chances of attacks they rise too.And one of the most occurring and costly attacks that companies are facing is the ransomware attack.

The ransomware attack is coming up as a business model where thousands of organizations get breached and asked for huge amounts of ransom.At an early stage the organization the are much worried for the business growth and they miss out the basic criteria that is essential to draw secure business in long term.Ransomware is not symbolise to have a certain set of step that occur and it is said to be ransomware,Ransomware is a group of malicious activity that occur together to lead final destination where organizations they lose the access of their file data and get encrypted until the ransom is paid.The attackers demand the handsome amount that cost billions.

The ransomware attacks are coming up in the form of chains that does not seem to be in a state of attack progression but actually that is the step vector leading toward the final destination to make it ransomware.

 

The most observed way through which ransomware comes up is through phishing mail and compromised websites.While surfing them the malicious files or script land up in the user system and initiate its process.

There are various ways and extensions that we usually see the ransomware file has .Some of them are as follows:

.keybtc@inbox_com, .0x0, .bleep, .1999, .vault, .HA3, .toxcrypt, .magic, .SUPERCRYPT, .CTBL, .CTB2, .ecc, .ezz, .exx, .zzz, .xyz, .aaa, .abc, .ccc, .vvv, .xxx, .ttt, .micro, .encrypted, .locked, .crypto, _crypt, .crinf, .r5a, .XRNT, .XTBL, .crypt, .R16M01D05, .pzdc, .good, .LOL!, .OMG!, .RDM, .RRK, .encryptedRSA, .crjoker, .EnCiPhErEd, .LeChiffre, etc.

In the present time many solutions are coming up in a modular approach to provide a solution as per the particular use case requirement, that won’t be a long-term leading solution.

What is required in terms of a solution to overcome these breaches?

The solution should never be a modular solution providing a solution for a particular set of challenges that are faced by industry ,it should be a proactive solution with 360 degree Comprehensive visibility.The solution should be proactive to mitigate the breach risk in early stages itself rather than going in reactive approach after the breach happens.

The Seceon aiSIEM is a complete raft of automated tools that an IT infrastructure requires to be secured. The solution clutches all the raw log and flow generated by different endpoints and does the data engineering with advanced ML/AI with context and behaviour analysis.

The moment any such malicious activity is found in the system it raises the alert defining its severity and confidence on the basis of what behavioural pattern its follows, it takes the context of any similar event that may have happened in past and does all the correlation to provide accuracy in alerts.With more passing day the solution become more precise and accurate.

The solution is enriched with the capability of push button and auto remediation policy which makes life of an analyst easy by automating it.

A must look solution before you decide on any security solution in your infrastructure.

 

 

What is Threat Management ?

Threat management or Cyber Threat Management is a practice that is followed by the industry professional to make their environment secure before they get caught in the malicious attempt.

The news of data breaches are getting increased day-by-day, With each attack we come to know about the new approach or loopholes that cyber criminal are looking to break the security of the system.  Most of the time during development some loops are left and that become the backdoor for these hackers. Nowadays, the malicious activity they are implemented in multi-step so it becomes hard for the user to realize even that something unusual is going on in their environment. These all define the true reason to know about such a advanced technology-driven Threat Management system that is self-automated and has the AI and ML enriched capability that can easily manage the Security without any noise or ambiguity.

 

Why Threat Management is evolving?

Along with the technical evolution the movement of data over the web is increasing at a very large scale, these movement not only ease work and access in the system but also raises the opportunity for the cyber criminal to make more malicious attempt. The risk includes data mutation, deletion, and various manipulation such as upload, download that can be done to break the integrity, security of data and organization both. The solution for this is to understand the exact problem and provide the featured solution rather than going for multiple silo solutions just for the saying of security posture, usage of multiple silo tools at a time will itself create so much noise that it won’t give any unidirectional approach to follow. We are required to follow the basic hygiene along with a fully automated AI, ML-based solution that can help to manage the process and eliminate threat following the basic standard required by the Cybersecurity industry. The threat management system should initially follow the basic guideline to Identify, Analyze, Prioritize, Eliminate, Remediate the activity.

Many cyber security organization they partially follow the standard that is defined by experts and in halfway itself, they conclude to find them as a complete solution that does not help the user to get the exact required solution. With the industry-recognized solution Seceon Open Threat Management System handling of the activity that can create threat over the network becomes easy. There are several benefits of having such a fully automated, enriched Open Threat Management Platform :

• Reduce the Capex and Opex

• Provides Best Efficacy, Efficiency, and ROI.

• Comprehensive Visibility of all assets.

• Proactive Detection of Threat in Real-time featured to provide recommendation for alert mitigation.

• Eliminates the need for complex silo-based solutions.

• Reduces Mean-Time-To-Response(MTTR)

• Reduces Mean-Time-to-Identify(MTTI)

• Continuous Compliance and Monitoring
