Editor's Notes
- #4: Most organizations look like this… there’s a myriad of security solutions in their environment all promising to deliver greater visibility.
- #9: Step 3: Cryptolocker connects to random URL to download RSA Public Key Step 4: Crates AES-256 key for each file, uses AES-265 and RSA encryption method. Encrypts files using the AES-256 key, which is encrypted using the downloaded public key.
- #11: If you don’t pay by the deadline, the files are lost
- #12: Most organizations look like this… there’s a myriad of security solutions in their environment all promising to deliver greater visibility.
- #17: Delivers 8 coordinated rulesets, fueled by the collective power of the Open Threat Exchange, to drive the USM security capabilities and identify the latest threats, resulting in the broadest view of attacker techniques and effective defenses.
