The Ransomware Threat

December 22, 2022

The Ransomware Threat
Ransomware continues to be among the most critical risks facing organizations of all sizes. Attackers have perfected techniques and business models that will pose a challenge to even the best prepared organizations.

While the encryption of a high volume of computers on a network can potentially be mitigated by adequate backups, ransomware actors have discovered new avenues of extortion, such as threatening to release data stolen prior to encryption. While ransomware attacks are time consuming to perform, ransomware actors have managed to achieve scale through the introduction of “ransomware-as-a-service” operations, renting out their tools and infrastructure to other attackers in exchange for a cut of the profits.

Osirium

In the current world of outsourcing, it can be hard to see who has privileged access to what on your systems. These days, the lowest paid people have the highest privileges - and they may not even work for your organisation. Osirium readdresses this balance for end-user organisations and uniquely allows MSSPs to manage tens of thousands of account credentials, outsource safely and keep their clients happy on the compliance front. Our approach gives speed to value, enabling organisation to see results as quickly as required. Osirium prevents attacks on Privileged Accounts by separating people from passwords. Those privileged passwords never enter any workstation, they undergo Enterprise Class Password Life Cycle Management. We can build a least privileged model by removing the need for direct system access using Privileged Task Automation. Add Session Recording to allow you to see who did what, where and when.
