Secure Against Future Attacks?

The tactics and techniques used in SUNBURST have been used in other attacks, such as the Maze ransomware and previous supply chain attacks like the OPM breach. This means that future attacks that may differ from SUNBURST will use the same key elements, and organizations can still protect themselves proactively. The core tenets of cybersecurity remain true: Understand what assets are under your control and which ones are protected, establish control and baselines of security, and implement the continuous cycle of monitoring, assessing risk and implementing improvements.

The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform stops incidents like SUNBURST from becoming breaches, and solves critical cybersecurity use-cases through the range of flexible product modules and partner integrations, as well as managed services and incident response services to address your organization’s specific IT environment and security requirements.
