Ransomware that encrypts data is the most prevalent and dangerous kind. With this type, you can view your files and browse through the applications and directories on your device, but not open them. Frequently, the names of the files have been changed, and a new file or message has been added that contains a ransom note.

ThreatNG provides ransomware susceptibility assessment and monitoring. Assessing an organization's susceptibility to ransomware is crucial for managing its external attack surface, digital risk, and security ratings. Both prior experience with a ransomware event and understanding the nature of the attack can provide valuable insights into the flaws and vulnerabilities that attackers exploit, the potential impact of future assaults, the risks associated with third-party vendors, and how to improve the organization's reputation as a reliable business partner.

This knowledge can also help evaluate the attack's consequences, control third-party risk, and increase security ratings. By adopting a proactive security strategy, organizations can mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks and reduce the potential impact of any attacks that may occur.
