Prevention and remediation can help promote resilience

Tools to identify and prevent ransomware and other cyberattacks continue to evolve, but organizations
are unlikely to outpace the ingenuity of their attackers. While layered defense built with cutting-edge
technology can help identify potential attacks, organizations must also focus on identifying workforce and
implementation challenges and obtaining full visibility of any compromised data.

By strengthening detection and prevention tools, organizations can make themselves a smaller target,
and with thorough post-infection remediation, they can ensure a swift recovery from any potential breach
or malware infection and be better prepared to limit the damage.
