<\/p>\nTexas is big. Really big. With 29 million residents it\u2019s the second largest state in America, has a land mass twice the size of Germany, and a GDP larger than Russia. Texans like to say, \u201ceverything is bigger in Texas\u201d, and usually that is a good thing. However, this time bigger isn\u2019t better. <\/p>\n
News hit this week that 22 government organizations<\/a> in the Lone Star State were recently hit by coordinated ransomware attacks. It\u2019s a stark reminder that as attacks continue to evolve, it\u2019s crucial that your defenses evolve even faster. <\/p>\n So how can you help ensure your organization isn\u2019t the next ransomware victim?<\/p>\n For starters, does your solution have industry-leading anti-exploit technology to ensure attackers can\u2019t use unpatched, vulnerable software programs to distribute and install ransomware? <\/p>\n Sophos Intercept X Advanced<\/a> blocks more exploit techniques than any other endpoint protection product on the market. It\u2019s not enough to just have exploit protection: the number of exploit techniques a product protects against is also extremely important. Luckily, if it can be exploited, Intercept X Advanced has the best chance of neutralizing it.<\/p>\n Should that not stop an attack \u2013 or should an exploit not be leveraged \u2013 how will your solution stop attacks it\u2019s never seen before? <\/p>\n Our award-winning Deep Learning engine can identify unknown, unseen, and previously unidentifiable executables with greater accuracy than \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 any other vendor on the market<\/a>. <\/p>\n And finally, should the unthinkable happen \u2013 should ransomware find its way onto one of your endpoints and start executing \u2013 how will your solution deal with it? <\/p>\n The second-to-none CryptoGuard anti-ransomware technology found in Intercept X Advanced not only offers the best ransomware protection on the planet to stop attacks in their tracks, but also uses proprietary shadow-copy technology to roll affected files back to their previously-safe states, and cleans up affected registry entries \u2013 all in the blink of an eye. It\u2019s not enough to just stop a ransomware attack: it needs to be reversed and cleaned up as well, so you can get on with your day.<\/p>\n These are just three of the ways that Intercept X can thwart an attack, all backed up by a very long list<\/a> of pre-execution, runtime, and post-execution features. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a closer look at what happens when a popular ransomware variant tangles with Intercept X technology:<\/p>\nAsk about these three big, protective layers against advanced attacks<\/h2>\n
