If the Maze group is to be believed, we may begin to see more than just LockBit and RagnarLocker sharing their data soon. After starting the trend, Maze is now lowering the barrier to entry for other groups to follow suit by sharing their own platform. Many ransomware attacks could be prevented through a combination of email gateway monitoring, implementing multi-factor authentication for all remote access, and security education focused on phishing attacks. Organizations should also deploy an endpoint monitoring solution to monitor for suspicious actions taken by malicious actors, to catch attacks even if an employee is tricked into running malware. Managed security services such as the Binary Defense Security Operations Center (SOC) can provide 24/7 monitoring to quickly detect, contain and alert security teams to threats before they have the chance to spread throughout the network.
