Screenlocker ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to a victim's computer or device by displaying a full-screen message that demands payment in exchange for restoring access. The message usually appears to be from a law enforcement agency or a security organization. It claims that the computer has been used for illegal activities or contains unlawful content, threatening legal action if the ransom is not paid. Screenlocker ransomware typically targets individuals but can also affect businesses and organizations.

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.
