Ransomware Protection Strategy

Ransomware is the leading cause of business interruption and data loss. A comprehensive protection strategy combines prevention, detection, and recovery—none of which should be left to chance.

Prevention: Make Compromise Difficult

Stop ransomware before it executes. Multifactor authentication prevents credential compromise. Endpoint detection and response tools identify malicious behavior. Network segmentation limits the spread of infection. User training reduces phishing success.

These controls don't guarantee immunity. They reduce the probability that an attacker will successfully deploy ransomware in the first place.

Detection: Catch Ransomware Early

Despite prevention, some ransomware will be executed. The goal is to detect it in minutes, not days. Behavioral analysis can identify when a process begins encrypting files at scale. Network monitoring can spot data exfiltration. Log analysis can reveal lateral movement and privilege escalation.

Recovery: Restore from Clean Backups

Ransomware attacks often target backups as part of the attack plan. Immutable backups stored separately from production systems are the final recovery layer. Regular testing ensures recovery actually works when it matters.
