The Essential Guide to Understanding Ransomware

The best way to future-proof your organization and protect it against ransomware is to understand the most common attack patterns and techniques that threat actors use during attacks. During the past year, CyberProof analyzed and responded to numerous ransomware attacks launched by the major ransomware operators. We documented the Tactics, Techniques & Procedures (TTPs) and tools they used, as well as the CVEs they exploited. Using this data, we rated the most common MITRE ATT&CK techniques and tools used by ransomware operators, as well as the vulnerabilities that they exploited.

This report maps the most frequently used tools and techniques – to help you assess potential risk, apply security policies, and allocate resources appropriately to rapidly detect and respond to ransomware-related activities.
