Evolution of Ransomware and Data Theft Extortion: Expert Insights and Defense Strategies

Today, it’s more imperative than ever to stay one step ahead of the threat by understanding the most common tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). We continue to observe threat actors from cyber criminal groups evolve their TTPs for ransomware and multi-faceted extortion operations and see a surge in compromises originate with credential compromise and highly effective social engineering attacks. In this webinar, we will shed light on the latest trends and real-world insights into initial access vectors and TTPs observed across the attack lifecycle, dive into the current ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) landscape, and provide defensive recommendations for your organization based on Google Threat Intelligence analysis of the threat as well as expert Mandiant incident response investigation insights.
