Ransomware Protection Solutions

Is your business safe from crippling data leaks and ransoms? CrowdStrike’s solutions can proactively defend against an increasingly ominous ransomware threat landscape.

The growing ransomware threat

Ransomware has evolved from being a hacker’s side hustle, to enterprise-level targeted big game hunting operations conducted by the most sophisticated cybercriminals in the world. In the past year, CrowdStrike observed a 112% increase in demand for access brokers who sell credentials to ransomware operators. 

To successfully stop ransomware, it’s more important than ever to secure the most critical areas of risk – endpoints and cloud workloads, identity, and data – and stay ahead of today’s threats.

CrowdStrike approaches ransomware protection in four key ways:

Prevent

Harness the power of cloud-scale AI and a massive data set - 5 trillion events per week - to prevent ransomware in real-time

Identify ransomware behaviors with indicators of attack and stop the rapid encryption of files before it takes hold

Respond

Strengthen your team and your security posture with CrowdStrike’s seasoned security experts at your side

Predict

Understand your adversary to know what to look for and anticipate the next serious threat

FAQ

What is ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim’s data until a payment is made to the attacker. If the payment is made, the victim receives a decryption key to restore access to their files. If the ransom payment is not made, the threat actor publishes the data on data leak sites (DLS) or blocks access to the files in perpetuity.

Ransomware remains one of the most profitable tactics for cybercriminals today.

How can you prevent ransomware?

To prevent a ransomware infection, implement the following tips:

  • Use security software: Protect all devices with security software and keep the software updated.
  • Understand ransomware threats: Stay informed about the latest ransomware tactics and don’t click suspicious links.
  • Use secure networks: Avoid public Wi-Fi networks where cybercriminals can see what you browse. Instead, you should install a virtual private network to ensure a secure connection to the internet.
  • Train employees: Provide cybersecurity training to employees at your organization so they understand common phishing attack tactics. You can send fake phishing emails to identify employees who might need further education.

What is big game hunting?

Cyber big game hunting is a type of cyberattack that usually leverages ransomware to target large, high-value organizations or high-profile entities.

Generally speaking, victims are chosen based on their ability to pay a ransom, as well as the likelihood that they will do so in order to resume business operations or avoid public scrutiny.

Who is behind ransomware?

A threat actor, also known as a malicious actor, is any person or organization that intentionally causes harm in the digital sphere:

The CrowdStrike OverWatch team hunts relentlessly to see and stop the stealthiest, most sophisticated threat actors: the 1% of 1% of threats who blend in silently, using “hands on keyboard” activity to deploy widespread ransomware attacks if they remain undetected. We know their game, we know their tactics and we stop them dead in their tracks every time.
