Merlin Cyber

???Merlin Group in the News!??? We're honored to see Merlin Group featured in?#FederalNewsNetwork! #Xccelerate2025 brought together industry and government leaders to discuss advancing cyber innovation for government. One key takeaway??Randy Resnick, Director of the DoD’s Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office, emphasized the need to insulate cyber defense and #ZeroTrust initiatives from #DOGE-led cuts. He highlighted how vital it is to maintain investments that strengthen operational resilience and secure mission-critical systems. ?? In a landscape where #cybersecurity spending faces uncertainty, articulating?ROI?is more important than ever. At Merlin, we're committed to advancing cyber defenses while demonstrate the tangible value security investments and meeting #efficiency goals—because building a robust cyber defense isn’t just a priority, it’s a necessity for national security. ??

Stay Ahead of Ransomware Threats with a Comprehensive Cybersecurity Strategy!??? The federal government’s cybersecurity battle isn’t just evolving—it’s accelerating. With ransomware attacks growing more sophisticated every day, agencies must be prepared to detect, protect, respond, and recover from these critical threats.??? The Challenge??Ransomware tactics are advancing faster than ever, leveraging phishing, privilege escalation, fileless attacks, and more. Traditional solutions like EDR alone aren’t enough to cover the full cybersecurity lifecycle or mitigate evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). The Solution??A holistic, Zero Trust-driven approach that integrates advanced endpoint privilege management, cryptographic security, automated backups, and resilient recovery.???? Merlin Cyber partners with industry leaders like?CyberArk,?InfoSec Global Federal, and?Veeam?to deliver end-to-end ransomware protection solutions: ?CyberArk EPM?- Automatically remove local admin rights, enforce least privilege, and prevent credential theft. ?InfoSec Global Federal?- Identify and remediate cryptographic vulnerabilities to minimize ransomware attack vectors. ?Veeam?- Automate secure backups and rapid recovery to reduce downtime and operational impact. By operationalizing?Zero Trust?principles, federal agencies can close privilege gaps, protect mission-critical data, and secure the national defense infrastructure. Don’t let ransomware outpace your cybersecurity efforts.

Medusa Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) launched another major attack on critical infrastructure, using advanced evasion techniques to bypass traditional EDR solutions. ?? To stay ahead of these evolving threats, federal agencies need a comprehensive, multi-layered defense strategy—not just #EDR. Proactive Defense Strategies with Merlin Cyber: ???Vulnerability & Patch Management?with?#Qualys?– Identify and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do. ???Privileged Access Management (PAM)?and Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) with?#CyberArk?– Block lateral movement and unauthorized admin access. ???Data Resilience & Recovery?with?#Veeam?– Automate immutable backups to ensure rapid recovery after an attack. ?? Don’t wait until it’s too late! Protect your mission-critical data and operationalize #ZeroTrust with a holistic cybersecurity framework.

???Medusa Ransomware Strikes Again – Are You Protected???? Another major ransomware attack hit critical infrastructure sectors, with the?Medusa Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)?variant continuing its global impact. The latest?#CISA advisory?highlights the advanced tactics cybercriminals are using—leveraging?PowerShell evasion techniques, EDR bypass techniques, and lateral movement?to compromise networks. At?Merlin Cyber, we understand the urgency of protecting against these evolving threats. Our?CyberArk EPM and PAM solutions?provide?proactive security?by: ??Blocking PowerShell-based attacks?and encryption commands. ??Preventing unauthorized system modifications?and registry changes. ??Stopping lateral movement?by restricting privilege escalation and Behaviors. Every level of the?Medusa attack chain?presents an opportunity for?prevention—and?we have the solutions to stop it before damage is done. Don’t wait until it’s too late.?Comment "Solution Brief" below?to see how?Merlin Cyber has designed a ransomware framework that prevents, detects, and mitigates these advanced evasion techniques. #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #MedusaRansomware #ZeroTrust #IdentitySecurity #CyberArk #MerlinCyber #FederalCyber #StopRansomware ??
