Prevent undetectable malware and 0-day exploits with AppGuard!

The rise of SafePay ransomware is a stark reminder of the growing sophistication and risk of modern cyberattacks. A newly emerged group, SafePay has already targeted at least 22 victims by deploying LockBit-based ransomware. While their tactics borrow heavily from other ransomware groups, the fundamental challenge remains: businesses are unprepared to counteract these threats before damage occurs.

SafePay’s strategy includes exploiting Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) access, a common entry point for cybercriminals. After gaining access, they execute a series of malicious activities, such as disabling security measures and encrypting files for ransom. Although organizations can detect these activities using traditional endpoint defenses, it’s often too late to prevent the encryption and exfiltration of sensitive data.

This highlights a critical gap in current cybersecurity approaches. Traditional solutions often rely on "Detect and Respond," where threats are only acted upon after detection. However, this reactive model fails to stop attacks before they compromise valuable data. Instead, a more effective strategy involves shifting to "Isolation and Containment."

AppGuard offers a robust solution for businesses looking to safeguard against ransomware like SafePay. With a 10-year track record of success, AppGuard proactively isolates threats, preventing malware from executing and spreading. Unlike traditional security approaches, AppGuard doesn't just detect an attack—it contains it, stopping it in its tracks before it can cause harm.

For businesses, particularly those with critical infrastructure or sensitive data, adopting a solution like AppGuard is no longer optional. Moving from “Detect and Respond” to “Isolation and Containment” is the key to staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated ransomware like SafePay.
