About this talk

Like all cyber threats, ransomware continues to evolve and its effects will cause significantly greater impact to corporate organizations and networks. Just as computer viruses caused more damage as they grew in sophistication, ransomware is increasing its way to enter networks and wreak more havoc. Newer strains now know to look for networked file shares as encryption targets. Do you know what signals to look for to detect ransomware as it begins to attack? Exabeam researchers have analyzed nearly 100 strains of malware and have categorized some of the more aggressive techniques being used. Join Exabeam and (ISC)2 on August 18, 2016 at 1:00PM Eastern and gain a better understanding of the mechanisms ransomware might use to propagate and how to detect signs of these mechanisms in use.
