Ransomware continues to be a severe threat that organizations worldwide face, especially firms with older technologies with out-of-support software packages like Windows 2003 and Informix. This article by Denny Cherry discusses Index Engines’ CyberSense solution, which can protect organizations from ransomware by scanning, validating, and counting as safe both older and modern platforms. CyberSense distinguishes itself from other solutions in the same industry by detecting encrypted files by looking at file metadata and data themselves, detecting even slow encryption through delta comparison of entropy scores. This unique form of detection helps protect organizations from ransomware, especially with the more targeted approach observed in recent attacks.
