In this episode of BareMetalCyber, we dive into the evolving world of ransomware—breaking down how these attacks have transformed from simple lock-and-pay schemes into sophisticated, organized operations. I’ll walk you through the latest tactics used by ransomware groups, including double extortion, ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), and highly targeted attacks that cripple businesses. You’ll also learn about the most common attack vectors—phishing, unpatched vulnerabilities, and remote access exploits—so you can better understand where your defenses need to be strongest.
But understanding the threat is just the beginning. This episode also covers the critical steps for responding to a ransomware incident, from containment and forensic analysis to negotiation strategies and legal considerations. I’ll explore whether paying the ransom is ever the right choice, how to engage law enforcement, and what it takes to rebuild securely after an attack. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your ransomware defenses or improve your response strategy, this episode delivers practical, real-world insights to help you stay ahead of the threats. Tune in now!
