Ransomware Attack Trends
Increasing Use of Initial Access Brokers (IAB)
Insider Access Brokers (IABs) aid ransomware attacks through phishing, vulnerability exploitation, social engineering, and insider threats. Advanced security measures are essential to counter these tactics.
Targeting Antivirus and Backup Systems
Increasingly Difficult to Decrypt
Ransomware encryption is evolving, making decryption through technical means increasingly challenging.
More and More Players
In 2023, 538 new ransomware variants were reported, highlighting the growth of independent threat groups.

What is Unique to Sangfor’s Anti-Ransomware Solution?
During Attack: Dedicated AI-enabled Ransomware Detection
During & Post-Attack: Enhanced Detection and Response via Synergy
The solution combines Network Secure and Endpoint Secure for improved detection and response. Network Secure blocks malicious C2 communications, URLs, domains, or files and alerts Endpoint Secure, which then isolates and mitigates the compromised endpoint for a swift response.
If Endpoint Secure lacks internet access, Network Secure provides threat intelligence to identify and address malicious activities.
Post-Attack: Dynamic Backup & One-Click Recovery
Endpoint Secure is the only endpoint security solution with a built-in ransomware honeypot. It uses bait files to detect ransomware and instantly triggers file backups.
The dynamic detection engine also backs up files accessed by suspicious processes within the last 3-9 seconds, ensuring swift recovery.
Pre-Attack: Ransomware Risk Mitigation
Endpoint Secure addresses the entire ransomware attack lifecycle by mitigating risks that can lead to compromise before attacks.
- Endpoint Asset Identification and Management: Discovers endpoints, including shadow IT, to ensure all assets meet security requirements.
- Vulnerability and Patch Management: Discovers and offers patching solutions to fix vulnerabilities, preventing exploitation.
- Security Baseline Checks: Ensures configurations align with organizational security policies.

Frequently Asked Question
Who gets targeted by ransomware?
Ransomware targets all businesses, from small and medium-sized enterprises to major firms. According to research by Chainalysis, ransomware payments exceeded $1 billion in 2023, hitting a record high.
The ransomware threat landscape is constantly evolving, with new players and fresh tactics. The increasing use of Initial Access Brokers and the emergence of generative AI mean that even novice hackers can carry out devastating attacks.
Anyone can be a victim of a ransomware attack, making it crucial to implement the right cybersecurity measures for you and your organization.
What are the most common ways to be infected by ransomware?
Phishing emails with malicious attachments are one of the major causes of ransomware attacks. Additionally, drive-by downloading has also been attributed to many ransomware-related issues. Essentially, drive-by downloading is where an individual visits a website infected with ransomware unknowingly, which results in the ransomware being downloaded and installed on the system the user is operating on. This triggers the Ransomware Kill Chain, and the only way to effectively stop it is with a trusted ransomware prevention solution like Sangfor’s Security Solution for Ransomware.
What damage can be caused by a ransomware attack?
Companies that fall victim to ransomware attacks stand to lose a lot. Not only are they at risk of suffering data loss and data theft, but they may also experience financial losses as a result of paying the ransom demanded. IT costs, legal fees, network modifications, a decrease in productivity, and potential loss in reputation are among the other pitfalls that may befall companies. With the frequency of attacks on the rise, and big payouts already having occurred, many firms are seeking top of the line cybersecurity services to ensure they are protected against all types of attacks, including ransomware.
