Severity
Defender Context
Ransomware remains a significant threat, and organizations must adopt proactive strategies beyond basic backups. Zero Trust Architecture is increasingly recognized as a vital component of a strong defense-in-depth strategy. Defenders should assess their current security posture against Zero Trust principles and implement necessary controls to limit the attack surface and potential impact of ransomware.
