Mandiant’s Nick Bennett & Dave Wong have taken the stage at #RSAC for a discussion on multifaceted extortion.

“In 2022 we are seeing #ransomware attackers get very creative,” say Nick Bennett during the #RSAC presentation. “They want to create as much leverage as they can to force the victims to pay the ransom.”

One of the lessons we’ve learned in our work with organizations, Dave Wong shares at #RSAC, is “#ransomware detection is about the whole attacker life cycle. Defenders need to focus on both prevention and detection.”

Closing out the #RSAC presentation, Dave tells the audience, “#Ransomware will happen, but what’s under your control is how prepared you are and how you respond. A strong security architecture begets strong cyber defense.”
