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.
Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) is well-known for employing a diverse and deep bench of cyber talent. We’ve brought in highly experienced professionals from some of the largest technology companies in the world and paired them with executives from the most pioneering technology start-ups. We combine that with leaders who have served in the public sector through the FBI, the CIA and Homeland Security, and through the U.S. Army, Air Force and Marines. Our ecosystem of talent allows us to bring a broad perspective, deep experience and innovative strategies.

EY and CrowdStrike work with companies to ensure they are better prepared for the threats that face them, ensure their defences are stronger, and are positioned to respond and recover to a successful attack when one occurs. Through the alliance, clients will be enabled to align threats to their defensive controls, measure the effectiveness of controls with regards to the changing trends of attacker techniques, respond to attacks in a more comprehensive manner, and remediate and recover from impactful attacks to enable focused improvement in areas needed.
Zero trust refers to the security concepts and threat model that no longer assumes that actors, systems or services operating from within the security perimeter should be automatically trusted, and instead, an organization must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access. Zero trust breaks down into six key areas:

Identity
Data
Application
Network
Infrastructure
Devices

EY supports the CrowdStrike Falcon platform as a zero trust leader in the Identity, Application, and Devices pillars of the zero trust framework.

EY’s alliance with CrowdStrike simplifies the adoption of a zero trust framework by leveraging the CrowdStrike Zero Trust solution which enables secure access to applications from any endpoint, regardless of the user or location. Utilizing the expansive telemetry of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform that processes over 5 trillion events a week, the solution grants dynamic conditional access based on continuous real-time security posture assessments of device health and compliance checks.
