Protecting Against Ransomware: Zero Trust Security

Zero trust isn't a silver bullet for ransomware, but if implemented well, it can help create a much more robust security defense.

 Did you know only 26% of companies have a specific incident response plan for ransomware? With ransomware attacks constantly on the rise, your organization needs to be prepared and take every possible precaution.

Reduce your organization’s risk with CyberSecOp Zero Trust Program. With the help of a single-source platform for your compliance program, you can protect against vulnerabilities while reducing incident response time by as much as 60%.  

Ransomware victims paid more than $600 million to cybercriminals in 2021. According to blockchain analysis firm, Chainalysis, more than $600 million in cryptocurrency could be tied to ransomware payments in 2021, with the Conti ransomware gang accounting for nearly one-third of those payments.  

HOW CAN CYBERSECOP HELP YOUR ORGANIZATION BE CYBER READY?

CyberSecOp provides cyber risk and advisory programs that identify security gaps and build strategies using Zero Trust or other security frameworks. The zero-trust model is an effective defense mechanism for preventing ransomware. Adoption of zero-trust architecture, the modern alternative to perimeter-based security, is one of the most effective ways to prevent ransomware attacks.

What is a Zero Trust Security Architecture?

What is Zero Trust Security?

Zero Trust Security, also referred to as Zero Trust Networks or Zero Trust Architecture, is a security concept with one basic principle: don’t automatically trust anything to access your data, whether it’s connecting from outside your organization or within. Implementing Zero Trust involves various technologies, policies, and processes that help you better respond to the sophisticated approaches cybercriminals are using to gain access to sensitive data.

CyberSecOp’s Zero Trust Security service offers a comprehensive solution to secure all access to your applications and environment from any user, device, and location. Zero trust is a security model based on maintaining strict access controls.

With the recent and very public surge of cyber incidents affecting businesses and critical infrastructure, you may have heard the phrase ‘Zero Trust’ regarding cyber security and protecting business assets. So what is Zero Trust? Put Zero Trust is a model of thought that centers around never trusting any device, application, or person, regardless of whether they are attempting to connect from inside or outside the network. This methodology is gaining more and more traction as cloud application usage increases and the permanent shift to remote work is further implemented.

 Zero trust is a strategy where everything (People, Data, Sessions, Devices, Applications) is treated as suspicious regardless of whether it's inside or outside the network. Essentially it is a ‘default deny’ posture, even for users within the organization. Instead of ‘Trust, verify the organization ‘Never Trusts, Always Verify.’ This is not accomplished by one tool but rather by policy, procedure, and means. Zero trust also focuses on Least Privilege- a Methodology that states no user should have more rights and permissions than what is needed to perform their work.

Zero Trust focuses on 5 pillars

1.       Device Trust

2.       User Trust

3.       Transport and Session Trust

4.       Application Trust

5.       Data Trust 

CyberSecOp can transform your business into a Zero Trust model by focusing on the tools, policy, and procedures to protect these five pillars and substantially decrease the odds of a successful breach.

Zero Trust Cybersecurity Benefits and More

Zero trust networks, of course, extend beyond security. They are also inherently agile, a vital benefit for an increasingly remote workforce. As massive remote crews put unprecedented strain on cloud resources, the more stability and resilience you can build into your architecture, the better. Rather than backhauling remote data to a static data center, zero trust applications connect directly into your network from outside the perimeter, which helps free up bandwidth for DevOps and access business-critical cloud services.
