Lightning Talk | Facing Modern Ransomware Threats and Tackling Multi-Extortion Tactics
Sanjay Poddar, Advanced Services Engineer, Fortinet

Ransomware attacks of today are surgical and multipronged in nature, and they consist of multi-mode extortion tactics that target organizations on multiple fronts. In this session, we will explore the strategies deployed by ransomware operators to maximize their impact-from encrypting critical data to exfiltrating sensitive information and then-exposing it all in public or via denial service attack.

An understanding will be gained by attendees as to how these layered extortion techniques are being carried out, the basis of their efficiency, and the very reasons that make defense against them so challenging. For every layer of a multi-extortion attack, exposure of specific indicators will be made available to defenders for purposes of early conversation.
The talk will leave you with sincere first steps toward strengthening your defense against a multi-extortion attack, including state-of-the-art techniques in proactive detection and containment strategies as well as response protocols that can mitigate damage. No matter where you are-multitasking as an incident responder, developing cybersecurity strategy, or providing threat intelligence-you will leave with handy knowledge and other lines of defense to ensure smooth sailing for your organization in this nightmare of complex ransomware.
