Scott Nusbaum - Ransomware Is NOT the problem - Scott Nusbaum OISF 2022 (Hacking Illustrated Series InfoSec Tutorial Videos)

Ransomware Is NOT the problem
Scott Nusbaum

Challenging the commonly reported belief that Ransomware is the main problem effecting companies today. But? if you ask people what is ransomware? you will get various answers? and most of them are wrong. Let's discuss what Ransomware is and why is it just the scapegoat for a more serious issue? that the attacker already owns the environment. We will reverse engineer a ransomware sample to understand its basic functionality and how it differs from commodity malware? walkthrough common paths of a "Ransomware" attack? areas of a ransomware event that organizations forget? overlook? or outright ignore? and how security products fail to protect against ransomware.
