EY’s Next Generation Security Operations and Response (NGSO&R) services and solutions help build a more secure and trusted working world by helping our clients protect their business with proven strategic and tactical solutions to defend, detect, respond and recover from cyber attacks.
Organizations face a critical challenge, ensuring they are protected and secured against ransomware threats. Financially motivated threat actors, using ransomware attacks, have raised havoc in multiple industries, many resulting in disruption of business operations that cost millions of dollars in damage, or worse.
- Ransomware attacks take advantage of security gaps at multiple levels, across people, processes and technology
- In response, a multi-pronged approach is needed to address the ransomware threat
- Understanding your security posture is critical to ensuring your organization is not the next victim, resulting in public disclosure, data theft and costly business disruptions
EY and CrowdStrike have partnered to develop a comprehensive risk assessment reviewing a company’s preparedness to defend against and recover from a ransomware attack, with specific focus on vulnerability management, assessment of endpoint controls aligned to attacker techniques, securing of privileged identities, and assessment of disaster recovery programs with regards to preparedness for direct targeting by ransomware groups.
