Dissecting Today’s Ransomware Ecosystem

Ransomware-as-a-Service, Targeted Intrusions and Opportunistic Attacks.

As eSentire’s exclusive MDR solution provider in Australia and New Zealand, Tecala has extended its cyber security practice to offer clients a powerful, all-in-one cyber security service which detects, disrupts, and remediates known and unknown cyber threats.

Why? Because the threat actors behind ransomware attacks are far more sophisticated and savvier than the petty criminals they used to be. Their operations are organised, well-run, and even leverage role specialisation to expand the reach and velocity of modern ransomware campaigns.

This is a guest report by Tecala’s strategic MDR security partner, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit.

Learn how the ‘eyes-on-glass’ threat hunting model is keeping Australian businesses protected

In this report, experts from eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) share their insights on modern ransomware threats. These insights come straight from the people at the leading edge of real-time detection response.

The emergence of Ransomware-as-a-Service and how it affects you
How criminals are using ransomware to perform both opportunistic and targeted attacks against your business
Ransomware deployment techniques and extortion tactics – what you should be on the look-out for
Case studies and observations on the most popular initial ransomware attack access techniques
Actionable takeaways – the approaches you can consider utilising to combat ransomware threats

For years, ransomware has been a significant threat to organisations. But cybercrime as we know it has now evolved into a sophisticated and multi-faceted 24/7 presence.

What were once opportunistic attacks used to exploit individuals have turned into well-orchestrated attacks aimed at high-value organisations to cripple business operations and wreak chaos.

In this rapidly evolving threat landscape, our clients need confidence that their data and critical assets are secure. And since initial access to data exfiltration and deployment of ransomware can unfold in mere hours, CISOs need to re-evaluate their security program, posture, and controls against the backdrop of the heightened risk organisations face from today’s threat actors.

In addition, Security Operations teams need up-to-date threat detection capabilities and incident response playbooks to fully respond and remediate ransomware threats.

Assess your vulnerability to attack. Protect your reputation.

Working to a risk assessment matrix, we’ll clearly identify where your business is most susceptible to breach or attack.

Our assessment follows 3 Steps:

  1. Where and how your business operations create your potential for risk.
  2. We’ll explain the two primary security frameworks and how to apply them to your organisation 
  3. Define next steps: Achieve peace of mind with a tailored Strategic Security Roadmap for your business 

Don’t be tomorrow’s headline. Book your session today.
