Ransomware detection solutions generally focus on DLP, intrusion detection, anomaly detection with User and Entity Behavior Analysis (UEBA), and deep, real-time application of threat intelligence. These capabilities are generally the only way to proactively stop ransomware before it detonates. For example, monitoring email systems and networks for ransomware indicators may be the best way to prevent ransomware attacks from being successful. Call Us: +1 (978)-923-0040

1. Overview of Ransomware Solutions from Protection to
Detection and Response
Ransomware remains a top threat in 2023 and the Verizon Data
Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) 2022 states that over 25%
of breaches were caused by ransomware.

2. Threat actors are continuously creating ransomware variants; as a result,
governments worldwide are finding and disabling the ransomware gangs
from operating these criminal businesses. Even as the proliferation of
ransomware-as-a-service lowers the entry point, the attack sophistication
increases, and they are increasingly targeting MSPs. In fact, cybersecurity
authorities in the United Kingdom (NCSC- UK), Australia (ACSC), Canada
(CCCS), New Zealand (NCSC-NZ), and the United States (CISA), (NSA), (FBI) are
observing an increase in malicious cyber activity targeting managed service
providers (MSPs) and expect this trend to continue.

There is no letup in attacks for businesses of all sizes. Of note, there have
been increases in smaller businesses in the services, manufacturing,
construction, legal, financial and retail establishments as well as larger
organizations in the telecom, technology, utilities and governments.
The biggest losses continue to be data exposure, time to resource normal
operations, loss of revenue, brand reputation, employee reputation, and
insurance.
It is important to have a full cybersecurity program to protect your clients
and their environments – that means prevention, detection, and response.
There are plenty of vendors with solutions that solve some of the aspects
of the ransomware problem. However, we’ve noticed that many of the
potential partners we talk to have focused most of their efforts to date on
prevention and response, which is a reactionary

3. and endpoint backup. This generally requires a number of solutions
from email security and endpoint security vendors to be deployed
and configured consistently on all client endpoints and email
accounts. The response program has mostly been limited to data
restores, which are increasingly automated now that many backup
vendors have tightly integrated ransomware detection capabilities.
However, as highlighted above, ransomware continues to cause
problems for MSPs and MSSPs, and their clients. This has
consequences for client trust and confidence in their service providers’
services to protect them from ransomware.
Ransomware detection solutions generally focus on DLP, intrusion
detection, anomaly detection with User and Entity Behavior Analysis
(UEBA), and deep, real-time application of threat intelligence. These
capabilities are generally the only way to proactively stop
ransomware before it detonates. For example, monitoring email
systems and networks for ransomware indicators may be the best
way to prevent ransomware attacks from being successful.
We’ve noticed that many MSPs and MSSPs are focusing on these
challenges – and implementing network segmentation, better
backup software, widening the patch and config management
programs for on-premises and cloud systems, DLP, and endpoint and
network UEBA. They are looking more closely at their attack surfaces
and the ability to detect issues for both North-South and East-West
network connections.
While the biggest roadblocks to making these improvements include
the difficulty in implementing new tools, the lack of finding and hiring
skilled security team members, client end-user awareness, and overall
cost models to accommodate the solutions needed to protect clients.

4. and response capabilities including:
Detection at Host: In the case of an attack based on email phishing,
Seceon aiSIEM and/or aiXDR quickly swing into action, correlating
logs from the email server with endpoint activities to find traces
of unusual or suspicious process spawned on the endpoint.
Detection at Host Connecting with C&C: When the the
ransomware’s components try to establish a connection with the
Command and Control Center (C&C) from the affected host, Seceon
aiSIE and/or aiXDR platform steps in to detect the auto-generated
domain names and correlate that information with other threat
indicators to raise an alert.
Detection of Lateral Movement: The introduction of an infected
host in the network could lead to a network scan conducted by
the malware for the purposes of identifying a potential target
before propagating to other endpoints/servers, like a worm.
Seceon aiSIEM and/or aiXDR can detect this activity rapidly and
correlate with contextual events to raise a “Potential Malware
Infected Host” alert, followed by an automated or press-of-a-
button response to quarantine the infected host.

Some MSPs and MSSPs are increasing their prices or creating a
second tier of service that includes a cybersecurity service
schedule that adds additional capabilities for detection, threat
intelligence, and response. This higher monthly fee schedule is
often offset by a lower cyber insurance premium that the client
wouldexperience.
