Security Minute: Avoid Becoming A Ransomware Victim With NetWitness Platform

Your best line of defense against ransomware is the unparalleled ability to see the attacks coming. The NetWitness Platform is an evolved SIEM and XDR solution that gives MSSPs visibility into everything a client organization touches.

It’s anticipated that $20 billion will be lost to ransomware attacks this year. Due to the rising popularity of Ransomware-as-a-Service and vulnerabilities in the supply chain, attackers can now cast a much wider net. “When you’re able to get into a supply chain … you actually are able to get many victims at once, rather than getting them one at a time,” says Arthur Fontaine, product and solution marketing manager at NetWitness. “If you’re using one of the common platforms, and that platform is compromised, then you are automatically a victim.”

Your best line of defense against ransomware is the unparalleled ability to see the attacks coming. The NetWitness Platform is an evolved SIEM and XDR solution that gives MSSPs visibility into everything a client organization touches, from network traffic, to logs, to endpoints and even IoT devices. “The ability to see all of these things simultaneously lets you correlate indicators of compromise across many different paths. And that, in addition to the built-in analytics, will give you much more visibility and much more actionable alerts than just kind of trying to keep track of all these things separately,” Fontaine says.

The NetWitness Platform is a single, unified solution with everything you need to detect, prioritize and investigate threats all in one place. “You’re going to be able to get much better performance for your customers than you would by piecing together different solutions that aren’t designed to necessarily work with each other,” says Fontaine.

With highly repeatable processes and built-in automation, you can easily and quickly deploy the NetWitness Platform across your customer base without the concern of downtime, extensive training or investment in added resources. In addition to top-tier protection with the NetWitness Platform, NetWitness partners get the most up-to-date threat intelligence and community engagement with NetWitness Community.
