Recent data suggests there is a new ransomware attack every 10 seconds. The damage caused by Ransomware in 2021 surpassed $20 billion, and is expected to surpass $50 billion by 2025.
Ransomware as a Service is available on the dark web, as are hundreds of thousands of compromised login credentials.
Cyber crime is big, big business.
Former Cisco CEO John Chambers famously coined 'there are two types of companies; those who have been hacked and those who don't know they have been hacked'.
This appears to still ring true. The industry average for malware existing on a network before detection is 200 days... Over 6 months.
?? So what should organisations be doing?
The short answer is as much as possible. The longer answer involves implementing a multi-faceted security posture focussed on visibility, prevention, detection, containment, action, analysis, remediation, and continuous evolution.
Game plans should be established and solutions implemented for before an incident, during an incident, and after an incident.
You must prevent what you can, and have a plan in place for what you can't.
At Sword Ping Network Solutions, we look at the following areas:
There is no one-size solution-set, and it's never job done. It's a continuous process of learning, adapting, and evolving.
What's right for you, depends on who 'you' are and what you do.
In the current age, every company is a technology company, and its critical you do everything you can to protect it accordingly.
