Attivo Networks raises the stakes against ‘Ransomware 2.0’

The capabilities aim to improve file protection against ‘human-operated’ ransomware, also known as ransomware 2.0 – which is more advanced and complex than standard ransomware. It is designed to bypass traditional security controls and often do not encrypt data on the first networks that they compromise.

Attivo Networks created ransomware protection capabilities by hiding key locations, such as cloud storage, mapped shared networks, production files, removable disks, and selected files or folders.
