What are the countermeasures of ransomware?

At BullWall, we recommend a multi-layered approach to counter ransomware, including robust email and web gateways, effective endpoint detection and response (EDR), next-gen antivirus solutions, and multi-factor authentication. Importantly, our specialized ransomware containment solutions provide an essential layer of defense, especially against zero-day exploits.

What are the three steps of ransomware?

Ransomware typically follows three key steps: Infiltration, where it gains access through methods like email phishing or RDP hijacking; Encryption, where it locks data or systems; and Demand, where attackers request payment for decryption. BullWall's focus is on rapidly containing these attacks to minimize impact.

How do companies respond to ransomware attacks?

Companies respond to ransomware attacks by first isolating the affected systems to prevent spread. They then assess the situation, restore from backups if available, and may engage with law enforcement. With BullWall, the response is swift, leveraging agentless containment to prevent encryption and data exfiltration, ensuring business continuity.

What is containment in ransomware?

Containment in ransomware refers to the process of quickly isolating infected systems and networks to halt the spread of the attack. BullWall specializes in rapid, agentless containment, including zero-day exploits, to protect both on-prem and cloud-based data, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.

How to contain ransomware?

To contain ransomware, immediately isolate the infected system, disconnect it from the network, and shut down unnecessary systems. Implement rapid containment solutions like BullWall's, which automatically isolate and contain the attack, preventing encryption and data loss, while maintaining operational continuity.
