“Other than efficacy, you need to look also at integration-the EDR must become part of your system. Q: Other than the percentage of malware-detected efficacy, what other factors should I consider when acquiring an anti-ransomware solution? Instrumentation to search for indicators across the rest of your managed endpoints for early signs.”.Precision instrumentation for eradicating malware, potentially unwanted programs, and potentially unwanted changes.Easy, non-vendor-specific language describing detected suspicious activity.

Contain threats, allowing time to investigate and document.To make the EDR tool a solution, it must offer four essential functionalities: This is the trust-but-verified part of a modern EDR tool. What’s needed is encapsulated in a principle called trust-but-verify! In the context of EDR, trust-but-verify means the algorithmic “detection” part of EDR must employ heuristics to look for anomalous encryption that deviates from known-good encryption. We know that in society and computer systems, trust is essential and foundational for communication productivity and growth. “Ransomware stems from the exploitation of trust. Robert Zamani, Regional Vice President, Americans Solutions Engineering at Malwarebytes: Fourth, it should have features that are valuable for detecting and thwarting malware in general, such as exploit prevention, behavioral detection of never-before-seen malware, malicious website blocking, and brute force protection.” Third, it should provide options for file recovery (in case something does get encrypted). Second, it should detect ransomware-like behavior and automatically kill and remove the threat from the system. “First, it should quickly identify and isolate systems that are infected with ransomware. Q: When considering an EDR solution, what anti-ransomware features should I be looking for?Īdam Kujawa, security evangelist and director of Malwarebytes Labs: Read Our Defender's Guide to Ransomware Resilience! In this post, our security experts answer some of your most frequently asked questions about ransomware and how our EDR can help-let’s get started. We get a few questions about ransomware protection and how our Endpoint Detection and Response software can protect you from ransomware.
