For years, adversaries have leveraged ransomware to terrorize organizations of all sizes and across all industries - holding their data and internal systems hostage in exchange for ransom payments. In recent years, ransomware attacks have continued to evolve, reaching new speeds and new heights of sophistication - remaining a persistent threat to the modern enterprise. A recent survey reported that as many as 79% of organizations have experienced a successful ransomware attack over the last year.
Beyond the cost of a ransom, organizations must bear the burden of business disruption, damage to their reputations and customer trust, and other long-term impacts. Too many organizations have a false sense of security when it comes to their defenses, especially if they leverage decades-old traditional AV or endpoint security products.
In this CrowdCast:
- Hear about the major ways that ransomware has evolved
- Understand the gaps in traditional security tools that make your environment an easy target for adversaries
- Explore how modern endpoint security solutions enable organizations to have an adaptable defense that can outpace and outsmart today’s adversaries
