NetWitness unveiled NetWitness Ransomware Defense Cloud Services,
a managed cloud service that monitors endpoints without traditional
deployment and administration requirements. Ransomware Defense Cloud
Services also includes detection intelligence developed from in-depth
ransomware research and development, combined with experienced threat
hunting in enterprise environments. This unique offering enhances both
prevention and preparedness for organizations concerned about the
scourge of ransomware.
Ransomware
has become an expensive and disruptive force within organizations.
Increasingly, the industry is seeing businesses suffer loss of data, a
halt to business operations and damages to reputation. These incidents
are costly and labor-intensive to remedy if not detected quickly. At the
same time, businesses are looking to streamline their IT processes and
infrastructures. Security teams specifically require forensic value from
technology solutions without bearing full administrative workload.
NetWitness Ransomware Defense Cloud Services addresses these needs by
providing expert intelligence in a cloud solution backed by ransomware
specialists, experienced threat hunters, and ongoing research and
development.
"The
ransomware threat is becoming more persistent and sophisticated with
every passing day. New ransomware variants, novel attacks, and
ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) mean that no organization can ignore the
potential for attack or delay taking proactive steps to prepare for when
they happen," said Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, Chief Technology and Product
Officer of NetWitness. "Preventing and limiting damages from these
attacks require a mix of technology, research, analysis, and threat
hunting. NetWitness Ransomware Defense Cloud Services combine various
areas of NetWitness expertise to help enterprises avoid headline-making
ransomware incidents and are delivered through the cloud for rapid
deployment."
NetWitness
Ransomware Defense Cloud Services provide enhanced behavioral detection
indicators based on advanced ransomware research and development, as
well as insights from the NetWitness malware analysis lab. Dedicated
teams with expertise in all domains of security leverage the NetWitness

that enables security teams to detect, understand the full scope of a
compromise, and automatically respond to security threats across modern
IT infrastructures. The NetWitness Platform delivers enhanced
visibility, integrating logs, network data and endpoints, applying
threat intelligence and user behavior analytics to detect, prioritize,
investigate threats and automate response, improving the effectiveness
and efficiency of security strategies.
