How Ransomware Attacks Are Executed

How Ransomware Attacks Are Executed

Recon and Infiltrate

This first phase can include selecting a target, determining how to gain access to the target, and accessing the target.

Maintain and Manipulate

At this phase, threat actors are already inside. The attacker uses their initial access to improve their position and move forward with their goals.

Execute and Exfiltrate

In the final phase, the attacker may access a target system via lateral movement, steal information, compromise systems, or target third parties.

Strengthen Ransomware Protection for Multi-Cloud Environments

Ransomware is an epidemic companies can’t ignore. Malware attacks are becoming more pervasive and sophisticated. And, ransomware-as-a-service now targets governments and companies of every size.

Innovations in Ransomware Protection

To defend against attacks, organizations must go beyond segmentation inside the data center and traditional firewalls. See how VMware’s innovation inside the cloud and cloud-to-cloud security provides the strongest defense.
