Threat actors are constantly innovating and adjusting their tactics to improve the likelihood of a successful attack. This is especially true for ransomware operators looking to make fast money – they want to get in fast, cause as much damage as possible, and increase the pressure on organizations to pay a ransom. This is a difficult situation for any organization to face alone. That’s why when a threat actor gained access to a large manufacturer’s systems and demanded a multimillion-dollar ransom payment, they called in Unit 42™ to help them respond with confidence.

Join Palo Alto Networks in this session to hear:

  • A firsthand account of the investigation, including the anatomy of the attack and what steps the client took to get back up and running.
  • Insight into key ransomware trends and evolving techniques.
  • Recommendations to defend against attacks.
