Evolution of Ransomware-as-a-Service and Malware Delivery Mechanisms

The persistent spread and evolution of ransomware is culminating in the 2021 iteration of advanced ransomware-as-a-service, a highly organized, business-like and particularly impactful ransomware attack ecosystem. In this webinar, a panel of security experts will discuss how ransomware has moved beyond a ‘variation in tactics and tooling’ to a profound monetization of criminal activity, exploring the key targeting practices currently being employed by attackers. What’s more, the speakers will outline and explain best practice scenarios for mitigating and defending against modern, sophisticated ransomware attacks. Key takeaways: ● Insight into the advancement of social tactics (including publication of victims details) and other forms of extortion to force ransom payments ● Why the only viable defenses must now be powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms ● How data science can yield the earliest possible indicators of compromise through analysis of telemetry at scale
