In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cyber threats pose a significant risk to organizations of all sizes. Ransomware attacks have become a prevalent and increasingly sophisticated menace, causing substantial financial losses and operational disruptions.
Vercara’s UltraDDR service provides protective DNS protection using recursive DNS to block outbound DNS queries targeting malicious domains associated with threats such as ransomware. When a user clicks on a file or link that triggers ransomware, the malware attempts to connect to a malicious server on the internet to get the ransomware payload, so the affected device performs a DNS lookup for the domain of the malicious server. Thanks to our extensive adversary data lake, UltraDDR has the highest efficacy detection rates in the market for malicious hostnames. AV-Test, a well-respected independent testing company, reported that UltraDDR’s efficacy rate for detecting malicious domains was 87%, over 30 percent higher than the nearest competitor.
Demo of Vercara UltraDDR.
In the video below, Vercara’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team provides a demonstration of how our UltraDDR Protective DNS platform can protect organizations against ransomware attacks.
The demonstration begins by explaining the process of setting up a simulated ransomware attack. To showcase the effectiveness of UltraDDR, we employ two systems. The first system, symbolized by a puppy background, represents an unprotected employee’s computer. The second system, symbolized by a serene beach background, is protected by UltraDDR.
The intent of the demonstration is to run the same ransomware attack on both systems and observe the difference in outcomes. As expected, UltraDDR effectively thwarted the ransomware attack by blocking a domain used for the ransomware distribution and prevented any impact, including data loss.
Protecting your business with UltraDDR.
Ransomware attacks continue to evolve and pose significant risks to organizations worldwide. This demonstration highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures, such as UltraDDR, in protecting businesses against such threats. By effectively detecting and blocking malicious activities, UltraDDR ensures the safety and continuity of an organization’s operations.
In conclusion, investing in advanced detective and preventative solutions powered by threat intelligence, like UltraDDR, is crucial for organizations aiming to safeguard their sensitive data, reputation, and financial stability. By staying proactive and vigilant against evolving cyber threats, companies can fortify their defenses and preserve their digital assets from the clutches of ransomware attacks. Remember, a secure organization is a resilient organization.
