AlphV/Black Cat has been very busy this year with numerous attacks in various industries that include local governments, colleges, energy companies, and has now moved on to the airline industry. In the current threat environment, it is likely ransomware groups will continue to create costly disruptions for companies of all industries and sizes. Financially motivated threat actors most often prioritize those organizations that do not have the proper protections in place. Storing copies of important data offline and regularly testing the backup process, maintaining systems with up-to-date patching, and deploying an up-to-date EDR and MDR solution will help a considerable amount in reducing the effects of an attack. A 24/7 monitoring solution like the one that is offered by Binary Defense and the Security Operations Center should be considered when determining a defense solution as well. Appropriate detection of network intrusions and suspicious activity, facilitated by the Threat Hunting services offered by Binary Defense, can save considerable time and money during recovery.
