If the multiple high profile Ransomware in the last couple of years wasn’t a wake-up call to enterprises that Ransomware can infiltrate enterprise networks and compromise the most secure networks in the world, then certainly the recent string of Ransomware that has hit infrastructures like the SF MTA, Megent System or Methodist Hostpital. Once an enterprise gets infected with Ransomware, the potential of the other organization's system being infected are high. Enterprise admins know that backups of systems are essential to business and productive continuity of employees, but the initial infection is the problem we take aim on preventing the initial infection. This talk aims to describe manners in which we have addressed this issue and how we view these Ransomware threats. Over the last few years, Intel has built up our threat intelligence tracking of APT campaigns and Ransomware Families. We will conclude with how we are further automating the capabilities and, in an unconstrained world, where the Ransomware authors will be targeting next. We will also discuss the cutting-edge techniques ransomware authors will be using in the future and the crippling effects it will have in different market verticals.
