HOW ORGANIZATIONS BECOME A RANSOMWARE TARGET

PHISHING EMAILS

Cybercriminals use deceptive emails with malicious attachments or links to trick employees into downloading ransomware.

41%

of ransomware attacks are caused by phishing, the most common entry point.

Exploiting Unpatched Software & Vulnerabilities

Hackers exploit unpatched software, outdated operating systems, and misconfigured security settings to gain unauthorized network access and deploy ransomware.

30%

of ransomware attacks are caused by unpatched vulnerabilities.

Compromised Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

Attackers use stolen or weak credentials to access systems via RDP, a commonly used remote access tool. Once inside, they can deploy ransomware and spread it across the network.

25%

of ransomware incidents
are the result of RDP compromises.

The Impact

The impact of an attack far outweighs the simple financial loss of paying the ransom. Many other factors must be considered, all of which have long-lasting implications for the future of the affected organization.

CRITICAL DATA EXPOSURE & OPERATIONAL DISRUPTION

A ransomware attack that compromises sensitive data can violate industry and regulatory data protection laws, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance frameworks specific to the affected sector.

DISRUPTION OF BUSINESS-CRITICAL SYSTEMS

A ransomware attack can severely disrupt business-critical systems, halting essential operations and causing significant downtime. By encrypting key infrastructure and demanding ransom for restoration, attackers can paralyze supply chains, disrupt production lines, and prevent access to vital data and services—leading to financial losses, operational delays, and reputational damage.

IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS

A ransomware attack can severely impact employees and suppliers by disrupting daily operations and access to critical systems. Employees may face downtime, making completing tasks, communicating, or accessing vital company resources difficult, leading to frustration and productivity loss. Suppliers could experience delays in receiving or delivering goods and services due to compromised systems, affecting relationships and supply chain efficiency. In the long term, these disruptions can damage business partnerships, erode trust, and harm the overall financial stability of the organization.

What is Ransomware Resilience?

Ransomware resilience is the ability to prevent, contain, and respond to ransomware attacks, minimizing damage and ensuring rapid recovery of data and operations to maintain business continuity.

Prevention

Reduce the risk of disruptions to operations, which can be costly and damaging to productivity.

Containment

Minimize the impact to business operations when ransomware gets through, and significantly reduce recovery efforts.

Recovery

Resilient organizations recover quickly to limit operational downtime and return stronger.

Be Ransomware Ready… with BullWall

BullWall's unique approach to ransomware provides server-based protection without an endpoint agent to secure critical IT infrastructure and maintain operational continuity across all stages of an attack—before, during, and after.

Phishing emails are the preferred method of delivery for cybercriminals.

 

With the high volume of emails delivered to organizations daily, it’s only a matter of time before someone clicks on something they shouldn’t, triggering the delivery of a ransomware payload.

BullWall is the only solution that immediately contains an active attack regardless of the delivery method, ensuring resilience and business continuity.

Unpatched software and existing vulnerabilities within organizational systems provide cybercriminals with easy access to your network.

 

While regular software updates and patch management are crucial for preventing ransomware attacks that exploit vulnerabilities, BullWall adds an extra layer of security by quickly detecting, isolating, and halting active ransomware attacks, even if initial defenses are compromised.

BullWall protects you from both known vulnerabilities and hidden threats you may not even be aware of.

Cybercriminals often disable preventative security solutions before launching an attack, with compromised Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) sessions being their preferred method of entry.

 

Cybercriminals use a variety of attack methods, such as brute force attacks, credential stuffing, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, phishing emails, and exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities to breach networks. Once inside, they move laterally across systems, disabling security defenses before executing a full-scale attack.
