Ransomware poses an existential threat to organizations of all sizes in any vertical. These attacks are extremely lucrative, with ransom demands and recovery costs bleeding victim organizations out of millions of dollars. This book provides an overview of the ransomware economy, including the threat that this complex attack ecosystem poses to organizations, and reveals how you can best prepare to be resilient in the face of this threat and remain operational. Ransomware is a major threat to businesses and organizations of all kinds. Ransomware and data extortion attacks are not only disruptive to business operations but also costly to resolve. They spur regulatory actions and civil litigation, including class action lawsuits against victim organizations, and more recently have even resulted in criminal charges being lodged against company officers. A dedicated anti-ransomware solution utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with behavioral analytics to identify and stop polymorphic and repacked variants of ransomware that EPP, EDR, and XDR continue to miss. This is because AI/ML endpoint protection models were trained on characteristics that all malware share, including a subset of ransomware.

Today, it’s easier for threat actors to simply log in versus hack in. As cyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, it’s not a matter of if, but when, your organization will have an incident. Threat actors target accounts, users, and their associated identities―whether human or machine, to initiate or progress their attack. Detecting and defending against these malicious activities should be the basis of all modern cybersecurity initiatives. This book details the risks associated with poor identity security hygiene, the techniques that external and internal threat actors leverage, and the operational best practices that organizations should adopt to protect against identity theft, account compromises, and to develop an effective identity and access security strategy. As a solution to these challenges, Identity Security has emerged as a cornerstone of modern Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiatives. Managing accounts, credentials, roles, entitlements, certifications, and attestation reporting for all identities is now a security and regulatory compliance requirement. In this book, you will discover how inadequate identity and privileged access controls can be exploited to compromise accounts and credentials within an organization. You will understand the modern identity threat landscape and learn how role-based identity assignments, entitlements, and auditing strategies can be used to mitigate the threats across an organization’s entire Identity Fabric.

This textbook describes the theory and methodology of digital forensic examinations, presenting examples developed in collaboration with police authorities to ensure relevance to real-world practice. The coverage includes discussions on forensic artifacts and constraints, as well as forensic tools used for law enforcement and in the corporate sector. Emphasis is placed on reinforcing sound forensic thinking, and gaining experience in common tasks through hands-on exercises. This enhanced third edition describes practical digital forensics with open-source tools and includes an outline of current challenges and research directions. This book begins with setting the stage for forensics examinations by discussing the theoretical foundation that the authors regard as relevant and important for the area. This section will introduce the reader to the areas of computer forensics and the forensic methodology as well as discuss how to find and interpret certain artifacts in a Windows environment. The book will then take a more practical focus and discuss the hows and whys about some key forensic concepts. Finally, the book will provide a section with information on how to find and interpret artifacts. It should at this point be noticed that the book does not, by far, cover every single case, question, or artifact. Practical examples are rather here to serve as demonstrations of how to implement a forensically sound way of examining digital evidence and use forensic tools. Windows 10 and 11 have been used for practical examples, and they are, unless otherwise stated, accurate for both of those versions of Windows.
