A Guide to Automating Responses to Ransomware Attacks

When a ransomware attack happens, cybersecurity teams need to assess the attack’s impact and create a response plan – all very quickly. However, manually gathering diverse sources of information is time-consuming and lengthens your window of exposure.

Considering the average ransom in 2020 was $847,000, a fast and effective response is critical. 

Our Cortex® XSOAR ransomware content pack provides out-of-the-box playbooks that save time and streamline the process. You can automate user investigation, endpoint isolation, notifications, enrichment and threat hunting by orchestrating across SIEM, firewalls, endpoint security and threat intelligence sources. This allows response teams to quickly shut down ransomware, minimizing data loss, financial impact and enterprise issues.
