What started as opportunistic attacks that threat actors used to extort transactional payments has evolved to sophisticated state-sponsored ransomware attacks targeting high-value industries, including utilities, state & local government and education, manufacturing, and healthcare providers. In addition, the growing geopolitical tensions are bringing a new wave of politically-motivated ransomware attacks to sow instability and mistrust.
What does this mean for your business?
Just because you recover your IT systems and data from backups doesn’t mean the threat of ransomware is over. The effects of a ransomware attack may linger for years, eroding your reputation, costing millions in clean-up efforts, and often limiting your ability to land business in highly regulated industries.
It’s unrealistic to believe you can prevent ransomware attacks entirely. Therefore, you need a powerful combination of human expertise equipped with advanced technologies and automated response capabilities to stop ransomware attacks.
At eSentire our mission is to hunt, investigate, and stop ransomware threats before they disrupt your business. You shouldn’t settle for partial security, so we ingest multiple signals, correlating data across your network, endpoint, log, identity and cloud sources providing complete visibility, deep investigation, and unparalleled response.
The result?
We stop ransomware attacks before they become business-disrupting events.
We have been preventing, disrupting, and remediating ransomware threats for decades. We understand where this threat is headed and the support you need to defend your organization from the fastest-growing threat in our space.

Watch this webinar to get vital insights from latest research observed by our Threat Response Unit (TRU), highlighting alarming trends and the growing sophistication of ransomware attacks that increasingly exploit small business vulnerabilities.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software, or malware, designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering them unusable. Attackers demand ransom, usually in cryptocurrency, in exchange for a decryption key. Ransomware attacks are largely introduced through phishing emails, malicious websites, or infected software applications.
Ransomware attacks are unique because of their potentially dual-threat nature. Ransomware not only encrypts data to disrupt business operations but may also involve data exfiltration. In these double extortion attacks, attackers threaten to release or sell sensitive data if their demands are not met, resulting in significant pressure on victims to comply with ransom demands.
Ransomware attacks have evolved drastically, with attackers using more sophisticated tactics such as advanced encryption algorithms that are nearly impossible to break without the decryption key. While traditional ransomware attacks used to be opportunistic, modern ransomware campaigns are more targeted with attackers conducting research to identify high value targets that are more likely to pay large ransoms.
RaaS is a business model that allows amateur cybercriminals to buy ransomware and intrusion playbooks from other skilled cybercriminals. This has led to an increase in both the frequency and sophistication of attacks and lowered the threshold for ransomware attacks.
The main vectors of ransomware attacks are phishing emails, Business Email Compromises (BEC), browser-based attacks like SEO poisoning and malvertising, remote desktop protocol (RDP) abuse, and credential abuse.
Knowing how to prepare for and defend against a ransomware attack is essential. Critical aspects of your protection against ransomware should include hardening systems, rigorous prevention measures, ransomware detection and response, recovery and restoration measures, and plans to inform relevant authorities and affected parties.
eSentire helps organizations protect against ransomware attack vectors through Exposure Management Services, Managed Detection and Response and Digital Forensics and Incident Response.
eSentire Exposure Management Services address initial access vectors and formulate a robust security strategy that includes training and regular testing. We offer rigorous assessments through Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Management, and Phishing and Security Awareness Training programs, to equip organizations with a strong defense mechanism against potential threats and help build cybersecurity resilience.
eSentire Managed Detection and Response (MDR) protects against ransomware attacks through our 24/7 threat detection, isolation, disruption, and response, carried out by a team of skilled SOC Cyber Analysts and Elite Threat Hunters. This constant vigilance allows for rapid response to ransomware attacks, effectively containing their impact. We equip your organization with the necessary expertise to understand and identify attacker presence, evaluate footholds they may have established, and combat persistent access attempts, creating a thorough and robust defense against ransomware attacks.
Finally, eSentire Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) plays a key role in helping organizations recover from ransomware attacks. With our Emergency Incident Response support and a guaranteed 4-hour threat suppression under the Incident Response Retainer SLA, DFIR offers immediate and effective responses to ransomware attacks. DFIR also provides thorough digital forensic investigations to determine the extent of the breach, producing results that can stand up in a court of law, and offers guidance through evidence handling, crisis communications, compliance notifications, and more, ensuring a comprehensive recovery process.
We protect organizations from social engineering tactics, fileless ransomware, lateral movement, and Ransomware-as-a-Service. Here’s how our services map to the various
ransomware attack vectors.

Watch this video to see how a Fortinet vulnerability led to a ransomware attack impacting 250 endpoints in a customer’s environment. Original detection engineering developed by TRU identified the malicious use of BestCrypt and our 24/7 SOC Cyber Analysts immediately contained the attack and reversed the encryption.
Watch Now →Ransomware is a form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering the files and their system unusable. Malicious actors demand ransom in exchange for decryption. If the ransom isn’t paid, the ransomware actors will threaten to sell or leak the exfiltrated data.
Ransomware incidents continue to become more destructive and impactful. Attackers engage in lateral movement to target critical data and propagate ransomware across entire networks. These actors routinely use tactics that make data recovery more difficult for organizations. As a result, the economic and reputational impacts of ransomware attacks can be challenging to remediate fully for organizations of any size.
Threat actors may attempt to take advantage of you at your most vulnerable state through secondary and tertiary extortion attempts:
The attacker demands an initial payment via Bitcoin in exchange for restoring access to your files.
The attacker threatens to publicize the incident in an attempt to extort funds from those concerned of reputational damage.
Your sensitive data may be replicated and released for sale on the Dark Web.
Maintain offline, encrypted backups of data and to regularly test your backups
Maintain regularly updated “gold images” of critical systems
Retain backup hardware to rebuild systems in the event rebuilding the primary system is not preferred
Ensure you maintain access to applicable source code or executables
Create, maintain, and exercise a cyber incident response plan that includes crisis communications and notification procedures for a ransomware attack
Connect with our Exposure Management experts to discuss security strategy, assessments and testing programs to measure your preparedness for a ransomware attack.
Effective incident response quickly brings control, stability, and organization, should a ransomware attack be spreading across your environment. When the worst scenario happens, the speed of threat containment and recovery is critical to limiting business disruption.
To stop a ransomware attack, consider the following:
Can we regain control of our systems?
What needs to be rebuilt/reimaged? Can we recover our encrypted data?
Has our name been posted online? Do we need to manage any fallout?
What is the cost of the ransom? Should we pay and if so, how? Does our insurance cover the payout? Is there a second extortion element?
How did the attack unfold? Where are our weak points?
How do we strengthen our cybersecurity posture?
Our On-Demand 24/7 Incident Response service, featuring an industry-leading 4-hour threat suppression SLA, delivers cutting-edge digital forensics technology, threat intelligence, and powerful 24/7 Incident Response expertise so you’re prepared for even the most advanced ransomware attack.
