Enterprise Ransomware Protection
There is no silver bullet when it comes to ransomware protection; it requires a holistic approach and Trend Micro delivers ransomware protection across 4 key layers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Email: Trend Micro delivers deeper inspection than traditional email gateways for both on premise and cloud-based email, such as Microsoft Office 365. This detects and blocks spear phishing emails and attachments or URLs that carry ransomware \u2013 the most common way ransomware infects an organization.
\u2022 Endpoint: Trend Micro delivers a full range of next-gen endpoint protection capabilities to detect and block ransomware, including the shielding of unpatched vulnerabilities, application control, and behavior monitoring to keep an eye out for suspicious activity such as encryption of multiple files, with the ability to halt encryption in its tracks and isolate the infected endpoint.
\u2022 Network: Trend Micro continually monitors the enterprise network with advanced detection capabilities and custom sandboxing across all traffic, ports and protocols to stop ransomware from infiltrating and spreading.
\u2022 Server: Trend Micro protects servers, whether physical, virtual or in the cloud, with suspicious activity detection and prevention, vulnerability shielding to stop ransomware from exploiting known server software vulnerabilities and lateral movement detection to prevent ransomware from spreading to other servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrend Micro is now taking their industry leadership to a new level by offering stronger solutions to combat ransomware,\u201d said John Dickson, Director of IT Infrastructure, RNDC. \u201cOffering an all-inclusive solution and custom hotline to any enterprise customer or consumer dealing with ransomware along with upgrades to existing products will help further protect their customers in this global, digital age.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trend Micro delivers enhanced central visibility of how ransomware is impacting an organization \u2013 identifying ransomware delivered through email, malicious URLs, a network breach or server compromise. This enables incidents to be more rapidly investigated and resolved, and enables ransomware trends to be tracked over time so that an organization\u2019s overall security posture can be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe bottom line is that it\u2019s more important the ever to have a multi-layered approach to security for enterprises,\u201d said Doug Cahill, senior analyst covering cybersecurity at ESG. \u201cTrend Micro offers an extensive set of security controls to protect enterprises from ransomware providing the visibility required to understand how they are being impacted and how they can respond to improve their security posture. Their knowledge of the complexity and sophistication of ransomware brings a level of expertise that helps organizations mitigate the risk associated with this pervasive threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
