Ransomware 2022: What to expect, how to fight back

Ransomware criminals remain the top cyberthreat to organizations of all sizes and in all industries. And their techniques keep evolving, while the ransoms they demand keep growing — think millions, not thousands.

And of course, ransomware is not the only threat on the horizon. Software supply-chain attacks are also on the rise, along with API-based application threats, advanced fifth-gen bots, and more.

Foresight is the key to protection

To get a handle on what’s coming and how to prepare for it, you should attend a live webinar coming up on February 16, 2022. You’ll get a complete rundown of all the ransomware developments we saw over the past year — along with a look ahead at what to expect in 2022. Plus, all live-event attendees will get exclusive early access to a new e-book, “Threat Spotlight: Protecting your business in 2022,” launching at the end of February, which covers all the top threat trends over the past year and what they indicate for this one.

Even better, the session will include a deep dive into the latest strategies and technologies available to protect your organization against the most evolved and sophisticated cyber threats on the horizon. The presenters include Barracuda Security Platform Engineers Manager Merium Khalid, an experienced ransomware incident responder, who will discuss real-world examples of modern multi-stage ransomware attacks, as well as the potential benefits of using an outsourced security operations center powered by an advanced extended-detection-and-response (XDR) platform, such as Barracuda SKOUT.

The right tools for the job

This panel discussion also includes Barracuda CTO Fleming Shi and Senior Product Marketing Manager Stasia Hurley. The focus will be on trends in ransomware and how the latest versions exploit vulnerabilities across multiple vectors: email, network, applications, and data protection. You’ll see why an effective ransomware security infrastructure needs to include:

• Modern email security that uses AI and machine learning to detect sophisticated, hard-to-spot phishing attacks, such as Barracuda Email Protection


• Powerful, multi-capable web application and API security with advanced bot detection, supply-chain attack protection, and more, such as Barracuda Cloud Application Protection


• A Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution that combines advanced network security, SD-WAN capabilities, and Zero Trust Access controls, such as Barracuda CloudGen WAN and Barracuda CloudGen Access


• Advanced, cloud-based data protection that actively protects against modern ransomware designed to find and infect your backups, such as Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup

Book your spot now at this information-packed live panel discussion to get the insights and understanding you need to make the right security choices in the new year — and reserve your exclusive early copy of the Barracuda e-book “Threat Spotlight: Protecting your business in 2022.”
