Avoiding Ransomware Checkmate

New Gambits for Mitigating Ransomware in the Public Sector

Client: ExtraHop

Format: White Paper

The Challenge: : State and local government and education (SLED) organizations are prime targets for ransomware due to their aged IT infrastructure, high-value sensitive data, and workforces with varying levels of cybersecurity awareness. Initial security tools like firewalls and EDRs are often not enough to prevent intrusion.

The Solution: ExtraHop's Reveal(x) 360 network detection and response (NDR) solution employs strategic decryption capabilities and behavior monitoring to identify anomalies. This allows defenders to catch and mitigate cyberattacks during the critical "mid-game" phase before extortion demands can be made.
