Organizations need to look beyond preventive measures when it comes to dealing with today’s ransomware threats and invest in ransomware response, which improves their ability to prepare and quickly recover endpoints from ransomware attacks.

Vendor agnostic technology, married with actionable, globally-sourced, and continually evolving intelligence, augmented by humans, is needed to defend our enterprises.

Schools should take measures to identify and secure sensitive data, keep devices up-to-date, and ensure that their endpoint security controls are working.

Cyber resiliency measures (i.e., architectural design, technologies, operational practices) assume that today’s threat actors can achieve a foothold in an organization’s infrastructure and in turn post-exploit activities must be contained and eliminated.
