Analyst report Forrester: Mitigating Ransomware With Zero Trust
By Insight UK / 16 Apr 2021
Forrester writes, “The organisations that suffered the most were primed for devastation not because they ignored compliance requirements or lacked any security tooling in place. They suffered so greatly because they had muddled their solutions and networks into the perfect petri dish for an infection.”
In fact, the research indicates that, “Those organisations could have limited the attack impact by following the basic tenets of Zero Trust.”
Microsegmentation and focused granular internal controls help to mitigate ransomware attacks and must be deployed as part of a Zero Trust strategy.
To stop a ransomware attack, organisations must track and understand what trust relationships are present across their enterprises and eliminate anything that is nonessential for specific business purposes.
Not having a good backup and data duplication system and strategy in place leaves your business vulnerable to ransomware.
