Prevention as a Business Strategy
summary
Claims that prevention beats detect-and-respond, using AI/ML and big data to stop attacks before execution; ransomware specifics include BitPaymer hiding payloads in alternate data streams, PowerShell-based delivery, Mimikatz credential harvesting, and C2-driven staged execution that can delete backups. Metrics cited: ~4,000 ransomware attacks per day, a new attack every 14 seconds, average 150 days to detect compromise, 330 incidents handled last year and one law-firm payout near $900k. Recommended controls: endpoint block, script control, patching, and egress filtering.
