My number one take away from from Bitdefender Connect was the changing ransomware trends. The primary goal of ransomware attacks is changing! Whilst encryption is still prevalent, data exfiltration and effectively black mail regarding the security of that data is the growing trend! You can’t protect against that with being able to restore alone, you need great protection and constant monitoring! This is exactly why our Kascade Defend managed service is powered by Bitdefender to deliver a managed and monitored response service. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how to improve you security posture. Holly Alexander Pranav P. John Nolan https://lnkd.in/egHy_K7Q
