Page 3 of 4 • SOLUTION BRIEF • PROTECT YOUR ORGANIZATION FROM RANSOMWARE
ENDPOINT PROTECTION
Trend Micro detected 99 percent of ransomware threats in email messages or web links.
That still leaves 1 percent that could make it through to your endpoint.
Trend Micro Smart Protection Suites deliver several capabilities that minimize the risk of
ransomware to your endpoints, including:
• Behavior Monitoring: for suspicious behavior associated with ransomware, such as the
rapid encryption of multiple files, so that the encryption process can be automatically
stopped and the endpoint isolated, before the ransomware can spread and cause more
damage to your data.
• Application Control: dynamically and automatically creates application white lists,
which will only allow known good applications to execute, and prevent the execution of
unknown applications such as ransomware.
• Vulnerability Shielding: protects you from ransomware that takes advantage of
unpatched software vulnerabilities, a target for exploit kits in attacks. This includes
shielding end-of-support systems like Windows XP.
NETWORK PROTECTION
Email and web are common ways ransomware enters your organization, but other
network protocols and attack methods can expose you to ransomware. That's why you
need a network defense strategy that stops ransomware from accessing and spreading
within your network.
Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ Inspector is a network appliance that detects
malicious traffic, command and control communications, attacker behavior, zero-day
exploits and other activity that is associated with attempts to infiltrate ransomware into
and across your network. Deep Discovery can prevent ransomware from spreading to
other endpoints and servers. It protects against ransomware with:
• Extensive detection techniques across all network traffic, ports and over 100 network
protocols to identify ransomware and attacker behavior across the entire kill chain
• Proven sandbox analysis that mirrors your computing environment to detect
file modifications, encryption, and malicious behavior that is consistent with
ransomware attacks
• Integration with Trend Micro email and web gateways, and endpoint, server
protection, and third party solutions to provide a connected threat defense where
new threat information is shared across multiple layers
