Ransomware attacks occur in three stages, starting with pre-encryption actions that attackers take to ensure maximum impact while remaining undetected. During this phase, they can delete backups, inject malware, and create conditions that ensure the ransomware operates smoothly. If security teams can detect these early indicators of compromise (IOCs), they may disrupt the attack before encryption begins. Once encryption starts, the situation often becomes critical, as many organizations are typically unprepared to respond effectively by that time. Regular monitoring and validation of defense measures are essential in maintaining resilience against these evolving threats.
Ransomware attacks silently infiltrate defenses, emerging in stages, and by the time encryption begins, organizations usually miss crucial early signs enabling intervention.
Most organizations lack monitoring for early indicators, allowing attackers to disable backups and evade detection until it's too late—when encryption occurs.
