Weekly Security Update – May 1st

Ransomware has been a dominant threat to organizations for several years now, causing damage estimated to be in the billions of dollars. Increasingly, a common action carried out by ransomware attacks is to erase the volume backups (i.e., shadow copies), thereby preventing victims from being able to recover any files that had been encrypted.

Defenders must be vigilant to stay ahead of the bad guys and, when needed, adapt their detection methodologies and capabilities. Moreover, conducting offensive research is just as important to defenders as it is to attackers in order to stay ahead of the curve.
