"What Ransomware Groups Look for in Enterprise Victims"

It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking your organization is too small, or too uninteresting, to be targeted by ransomware. But as attacks against educational institutions, fast-food franchises, shipping companies, retailers, and healthcare organizations have shown, ransomware gangs are casting a wide net for their victims. Learn how attackers identify who to target and things they look for in victim networks when putting together their attack campaigns.

Ransomware attackers cast a wide net -- they just care about causing damage, making money, and gaining new victims. That means no organization is automatically immune to attack just because of its size or industry. Organizations need to take steps to adequately protect themselves from potential attack, and many are not doing enough. While some ransomware groups target specific organizations and craft their campaigns accordingly, many ransomware attacks are opportunistic. Attackers use a series of tactics to find victims, such as initial access brokers and ransomware-as-a-service. Enterprises should embrace the basics, such as monitoring and patching vulnerabilities and protecting against credential harvesting.
