A true ransomware protection solution includes ensuring that you can identify and mitigate weak spots in your overall security posture.
Detect the early signs that there is a ransomware attack in progress through threshold alerting and out-of-the-box threat models/workflows.
Enable automated threat response mitigate damages, and use our detailed audit logs to help speed up investigation and restores.
Whilst it’s impossible to completely prevent ransomware attacks, you can reduce the risk that you will fall victim by identifying and closing gaps in your security posture to reduce your attack surface. The Lepide ransomware protection solution helps you achieve this.
Inactive users are often forgotten about or ignored, which makes them prime targets for cyber criminals unleashing ransomware. Get a report on your inactive users and see how long they have been inactive for to help reduce the number of potential accounts that can be compromised by a ransomware attack.
If users have access to sensitive data when they don’t need to have that access, it increases the number of accounts that, when compromised, can spread ransomware to your most valuable data. Lepide identifies users that have these excessive permissions based on the way they are accessing data.
Data available in open shares are accessible by most or all users on a given network. If you have sensitive data on open shares, then whenever any user is compromised by ransomware, this data will be affected. Lepide gives you a list of all your open shares so you can help to reduce this attack surface.
Most ransomware variations are detectable in your on-premise and cloud environment, as they create events that are symptomatic of ongoing attacks. With Lepide, you can detect Ransomware Spread in real time.
Large numbers of failed file reads can indicate that a user account might be compromised through ransomware. Lepide reports on failed file reads in real time, with powerful searching, sorting and filtering to speed up and improve the accuracy of your investigations.
Ransomware attacks commonly rename files, adding an extension, for example. Large numbers of file renames in a short space of time might indicate a ransomware attack. With Lepide, you can spot these events in real time with a dedicated report.
If a user account is compromised by ransomware, it’s very likely that their behavior with data will be different. With Lepide, you can detect any anomalies in user behavior automatically in real time. Alerts can be delivered to your email, or to the Lepide app.
Once the symptoms of a ransomware attack have been detected, the Lepide ransomware protection software can automate response actions and enable you to take faster, more accurate decisions around investigations and restores.
Turn on our ransomware threat model to automate the detection and response to ransomware. When the threat model detects the symptoms of ransomware, it will send a real time alert, and execute a custom response to shut down the infected user account, computer or more.
Lepide’s ransomware protection software discovers and classifies sensitive data at the point of creation. With our detailed audit reports, you can determine exactly what data is related to the files and folders that are under threat.
Lepide’s detailed audit log, and simplified report views, enable you to extract the most important who, what, when and where information for every event that occurs along the ransomware attack process – giving you the visibility you need to produce accurate incident response reports.
By following the guidelines outlined in this paper, your organization can establish a robust data access governance program that supports its business objectives and protects your valuable data assets.
