9 Commonly held misperceptions:1.we are not target as we are small/no asset.2. we do not need advanced technologies installed everywhere.3. we have robust security4. RDP servers can be protected by implementing MFA5. blocking IP from high risk regions6. our backups provide immunity7. our employees understand security8. data can be recovered even after ransomware attack9. paying ransomware to recover data

Ransomware featured in 81% of incidents and 69% of attacks involved the use of the remote desktop protocol (RDP) for lateral movement inside the network.

The new version introduces features that speeds vendor onboarding, enables secure access to Raspberry Pi based devices, and extends RDP capabilities.

The defense, called Dynamic Shellcode Protection, will make it significantly harder for adversaries to use memory as part of their arsenal of defense evasion techniques.

Once organizations know where the threats lie, they can tactfully approach training with strategies to refine IT and user security, putting additional preparation tactics in place. Identifying the top three mechanisms can help IT administration isolate RDP servers with backup components, integrate tools to assess the threat of phishing attacks.
