What is ransomware detection?

Ransomware detection alert you when your files or digital information have been attacked and guides you

through the process of restoring your files without damaging any files. Ransomware activity is a type of

malware software that is designed to infect a computer and remain undetected until it has achieved its

objective. It block access to your files until you pay digital payment.

AICYBERWATCH is the discoverer of the fully-automated, real-time cyber ransomware detection,

containment and elimination platform to empower Enterprises and MSSPs with its award-winning high-tech

solutions -aiSIEM, aiMSSP, aiXDR.

How to prevent ransomware with AICYBERWATCH’s solutions?

All of the breaches can be stopped in the early stages of attacks by the Right Comprehensive Cybersecurity

Solution rather than leaving you in huge loss investigation after the occurrence of the attack.

AICYBERWATCH is the viable solution. They provide ‘Comprehensive Cybersecurity for the Digital Era’

through the coalescence of AICYBERWATCH’s Dynamic Threat Models, Machine Learning (ML) and

Artificial Intelligence (AI) with actionable contextual awareness.

In the case of ransomware, it is quite critical for a business or enterprise to curtail any probable damage by

separating the endpoint or host quickly. Hence, the most discreet measure is to use existing endpoint

management tools and take the compromised endpoints out of the network, both internal and external.

AICYBERWATCH with its EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution continuously monitors end-

user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats. It uses several data analytics techniques to detect

suspicious system behaviour and provides contextual information. EDR blocks the malicious attack and

provides remediation recommendations to restore any affected system.

All these award-winning solutions are built on the Open Threat Management platform to enable millions of assets

to collect raw data such as streaming logs, network flows and identities from all apps, devices, network

infrastructure and cloud infrastructure including SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, IoTs and IIoTs, as well as advanced

threat intelligence to provide comprehensive visibility of users, hosts, applications, and services.

Most MSSPs using AICYBERWATCH solutions are also growing their profit margins and in turn, getting

acquired by the private equity or other large MSSPs. The organization focuses primarily on MSPs/MSSPs

providing cybersecurity services to all Federal, State and Local agencies.

AICYBERWATCH’s XDR and aiXDR:

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) is designed to help the security team identify highly sophisticated

threats that are hidden across several organizational system components. XDR is developed as an

evolution of solutions to problems like Endpoint detection and response and network traffic analysis. XDR

can also take SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) one step ahead. For instance, when a

SIEM platform creates an alert, XDR can automatically investigate the matter without having a security

analyst manually do the investigation.

Today’s enterprises face unending resource and security infrastructure challenges. Oftentimes, they find it

difficult to find a comprehensive platform that can automatically detect organizational threats and overcome

the common challenges. Keeping this in mind, the aiXDR has been launched by AICYBERWATCH in the

year 2020. The aiXDR platform integrates aiSIEM use cases and extends its capacities by providing

an Asset Management System. This system includes detail about fingerprints of the endpoints and provides

information like Mac address, OS, OS version and the Hostname. One of the crucial use cases is the File

Integrity Monitoring to help one easily track any modifications and changes made to important files.
AICYBERWATCH’s Research and Development Team’s Innovations:

Besides malware detection, AICYBERWATCH’s R&D team has come up with innovative solutions to

solve other areas of corporate threats and insecurities. These include

AICYBERWATCH’s R&D innovations analyzes various threat indicators, algorithms and employ advanced

technologies to provide a 360 degree view of an organization. This leaves very less room for guesswork

and static rules.

4 Methods for Detecting Ransomware Activity

Ransomware one of the most concern causing attack that is coming us as a complete business model, it is

highly destructive that cost million to trillions.

If it infects a system, network, user, or company, it creates chaos. The purpose of this attack is to extort

money from the target. In many cases, the decrypt data and restore access is lost even after paying the

asked amount.

In 2021, five ransomware attacks shook the cybersecurity industry. For instance, the breach of Colonial

Pipeline, one of the damaging ones, the DarkSide syndicate, attacked the company’s billing and internal

business network. It also created a widespread shortage in multiple areas, leaving no mercy.

Eventually, the company paid the demands of hefty 4.4 million dollars in bitcoin. (Now, cybercriminals

demanding untraceable money, which is also a bigger threat.)

However, the chaos it rained was cripplingly scary. For sight, the consumers began to panic and ignored

safety precautions. Most of them started hoarding gasoline unsafely, and there were uncountable fire

incidents.

Later, as per The New York Times, the ransom was recovered with the help of trackable codes in the

cryptocurrency movement and digital wallets. However, the authorities were unable to find the actual cyber-

attackers.

One spokesperson said that even though much of the money was recovered, hacker groups are not backing

down in the near future. There would be increased ransomware attacks, which would cripple our economy

and many unsafe businesses.

If you ask yourself why you need ransomware detection and prevention service, think about the incident

mentioned above. It is one of the notable attacks this year. You can search for other attacks and confirm

your doubts.

The cybersecurity experts are here to safeguard your systems, networks, and users to avoid such attacks.

These attacks, at times, leak information online and destroys a business’s credibility and reputation, and

steal millions of dollars’ worth of personal data of consumers.

Now, the five ways ransomware detection and prevention service from cybersecurity experts will secure

your business and give you more business:

1. Avoid Data Breaches & Extortion

We all know information is the new currency. For cyber attackers, information, data is valuable. Earlier,

ransomware attackers were targeting businesses and people only to encrypt their data and extort money.

Nowadays, the attack has evolved. If infected, the information in one system worth hundreds of dollars, and

people would pay these attackers to prevent their data going out to dark web.

If you are still questioning why, you should have a cybersecurity solution, know this threat is the greatest

one in the digital age we are living in.

For instance, every company has personal emails, data that never go public because public display of such

sensitive information can damage a company and its consumers. Such data can and may include credit

card information, private photographs, and unlimited texts.

Not long ago, every business with top-notch antivirus and cyberattacks awareness thought they were not a

target anymore. It is not valid. Whether secured or not, every company with saleable information in their

systems and networks is a target.

As per Coveware, there is no single business, regardless of its size, safe from ransomware attackers. Still,

with the help of a cybersecurity company, such as us, you can put yourself in the unlisted category by

securing every loophole from a cyber attacker.

WIFI routers have the lowest security make them the high target to breach a company or personal

computers. Experts make your routers impenetrable, so attackers try but fail.
3. Adapt High-Layered Security Solutions

There is no way to avoid cyberattacks, yet there are ways to stop them when they start infecting systems

in initial phase. The fact that ransomware attacks are still the greatest threat as cybercriminals are evolving

their tactics and security solutions.

To avoid such issues, keep your system updated, never install a pirated version of any software, and avoid

leaving any loophole with the help of cybersecurity experts. We believe that if criminals are getting smart,

then we must become smarter with a solution that works completely in real time.

We will help you protect your business and information from any malware attack and not just those are

already defined.

Addressing system and network loopholes are not enough anymore. Each company has hundreds of users

and correcting every system every time a minor attack happens is impossible. To avoid getting attacked

through a single user system, every user must play their role in cybersecurity.

Nowadays maximum of the attack attempt are done by email phishing. where a user unknowingly clicks on

the link in attachment and is never aware what things are running in backend with that link click.
