How To Prevent Remote Ransomware: The Easy Way

This article describes the growing prevalence of remote ransomware (malicious remote encryption), noting that a majority of human-operated attacks now use this technique and citing families such as Akira, BlackCat, LockBit, Ryuk, and others. It promotes SEQRITE Endpoint Protection’s approach of detecting malicious encryption via file content/behavior analysis rather than process-based detection, with features including automatic quarantine of mass-encrypted files, blocking of remote encrypting devices’ IPv4 addresses, MBR protection, and the use of SEQRITE MDR to find unprotected or rogue devices, positioning the solution to stop both known and novel ransomware variants.
