In the fast-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a data smash-and-grab attack stands out for its speed and efficiency. During these attacks, hackers infiltrate a network, extract valuable data, and vanish again, all before traditional detection systems can identify the breach. With ransomware strategies diversifying, some threat actors focus solely on extortion, whether data is held for ransom on your network or theirs. In this scenario, enhancing visibility and control over network traffic becomes paramount.
¶ The Need for Greater Visibility and Control
Sophisticated attacks such as data smash-and-grab demand advanced security solutions that provide comprehensive insights into network traffic and user behavior. Observe anomalies such as hosts transmitting unusually large volumes of data to unfamiliar destinations. A proactive security response can make the difference between a thwarted attack and a devastating data breach.
An example of network and user activity insights from by the Exium platform is provided below.
