RansomHub Ransomware – Everything You Need to Know

RansomHub, a relatively new ransomware group, has quickly gained notoriety for its sophisticated attack strategies. The group employs various methods to infiltrate and compromise networks, often leaving minimal traces behind.

Red Piranha’s Crystal Eye Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) platform offers robust protection against such advanced threats. With comprehensive visibility across networks, endpoints, and the cloud, Crystal Eye detects early stages of RansomHub attacks, such as phishing and malware execution.

Its continuous monitoring, automated response, and resilient system recovery options provide a multi-layered defence, ensuring organisations can effectively detect, prevent, and respond to RansomHub's tactics.

Application Spotlight: Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System

With the upcoming webinar, you will get a chance to see the Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System in action as demonstrated by members of Red Piranha.

A Summary of Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System:

Crystal Eye's Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS) plays a pivotal role in defending against lateral movement within networks. Seamlessly integrated into the Crystal Eye framework, it strengthens network security by actively monitoring and analysing traffic in real-time.

To effectively detect and isolate lateral movement threats, organisations should implement a robust network segmentation strategy with Crystal Eye. By creating distinct security zones and applying tailored IDPS profiles to each, organisations can contain potential attacks within isolated segments.

In this session, you’ll discover how to effectively detect and isolate lateral movement activities within your network and implement a robust network segmentation strategy using Crystal Eye’s Advanced Intrusion Detection and Prevention System. You will learn about:

• Comprehensive Detection and Prevention Framework
• Operational Modes of IDPS
• Customisable Rulesets and Profiles
• Multi-Tenancy and Advanced Configuration
• Local Rule Creation
• Ongoing Updates and Adaptation

Service Spotlight: CISO Services – eCISO™ & vCISO

Keeping an organisation secure is a full-time job and requires much effort. A CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is the perfect person to help you with that and more.

CISOs help organisations stay secure in today's hyper-connected world, ready to handle known and unknown threats and build a strong security culture. They stay across all the different aspects of cybersecurity. However, not all organisations have a CISO, some don't have the resources to hire one, and some don't think they need one or think they can handle things on their own. But believe it or not, you really need one!

Red Piranha's eCISO™ and vCISO program is a combination of people, processes and technology that delivers a range of security outcomes to protect your business and achieve compliance at a fraction of the cost. With our CISO services shouldering your security planning and reporting responsibilities, you and your team can focus on more strategic activities instead of putting out fires. A dedicated CISO with cutting-edge technology, complemented by remote consulting, seamlessly integrated with our Crystal Eye-Consolidated Security Platform, helps develop a detailed information security program and produce in-depth compliance reports.
