S2W Inc. and TechnoPro, Inc. will host a webinar on using threat intelligence to counter ransomware. The session will cover how to shift from internal-only defenses to proactive monitoring of dark web leaks using the QUAXAR platform.
The probability of suffering ransomware damage is proportional to the amount of leaked data on the dark web
In recent years, ransomware has evolved into a double-extortion model where attackers not only encrypt files and demand a ransom but also threaten to "publish stolen confidential information on the dark web," causing severe damage to many companies. Importantly, ransomware itself is merely a "means," while the attackers' true goal is to steal credentials and confidential data to sell and expose on the dark web. No matter how much you strengthen your internal malware defenses, if leaked account information and customer data are already circulating on the dark web, attackers will repeatedly attempt to breach your system through different routes. Therefore, constantly grasping "how your company's digital assets are handled on the dark web" alongside internal network defense is becoming a prerequisite for ransomware countermeasures.
Superficial security measures that ignore information and attack methods on the dark web cannot protect company data
In reality, many companies focus their awareness and budgets on "internal" measures like firewalls and EDRs, failing to continuously track what information is leaking and circulating on the dark web. Without knowing which forums and in what context stolen credentials and confidential data are appearing, it is impossible to evaluate your company's "vulnerability" from an attacker's perspective. Consequently, companies continue to miss the initial intrusions behind ransomware attacks and the preparatory acts for future attacks, unable to escape the cycle of "scrambling to respond only after damage occurs."
Additionally, relying solely on internal log analysis and vulnerability management falls short of capturing risks via supply chains and contractors, or the seeds of secondary and tertiary attacks stemming from past incidents.
Bringing defense-grade technology to the private sector. Achieving all-around proactive response from the initial stage with technology joined by Interpol
In this seminar, rather than treating it as just another ransomware tool, we will explain the concepts and procedures for visualizing "what information is circulating on the dark web and how it might link to attack methods and intrusion routes" to prioritize and respond. Specifically, using the detection results of leaked accounts, confidential documents, and customer data as a starting point, we will present how to organize this data to coordinate with incident response teams, assess the scope of impact, and confirm related systems for the next actions. We will convey how to proactively address the dark web data leaks that precede the end result of a "ransomware attack."
Building on this, we will introduce an approach using QUAXAR—backed by internationally recognized technology that Interpol has decided to participate in—to support everything from the visualization of leaked and circulating information relevant to your company, to prioritizing actions and organizing the information needed to brief relevant departments and management. We will outline practical points for taking all-around proactive measures before any damage occurs.
