Research: data security tools cannot resist blackmail software in 60% of cases

Data security provider Titaniam Released a 《 Data leakage and extortion status report 》 Pointed out that , Although more than 70% Our organization has an existing set of prevention 、 Detection and backtracking solutions , But it's close 40% Our organization has been attacked by blackmail software in the past year .

The results show that , Traditional data security tools , Such as security backup and recovery tools 、 Provide static and transmission encryption solutions 、 Tokenization and data masking , stay 60% Can't protect the enterprise's data from the threat of blackmail software . The study emphasizes , The most important thing is that organizations cannot only rely on traditional data security tools to defend against data leakage and double extortion software attacks ; They also need to be able to Encrypt the data in use , To stop the trace of malicious actors . 

The problem with traditional data security tools is not that they do not have strong security measures , Instead, attackers can bypass these controls by stealing credentials , To gain privileged access to key data assets .Titaniam Founder and CEO Arti Raman call , These traditional tools have no effect on blackmail software and blackmail behavior , Because the most common attack is not an attacker " intrusion ", Instead, the attacker uses stolen credentials " Sign in ". When that happens , Traditional security tools treat attackers as effective users .

“ under these circumstances , When an attacker moves in the network , They can use their credentials to decrypt like legitimate users or administrators in their daily work 、 Disassembling and uncovering data . Once the data is decrypted , The attacker will reveal it , And use it as a means of extortion .”

Raman Pointed out that , The shift to data leakage occurred in 2020 About the middle and late years of the year , At that time, cyber criminals began to integrate data leakage , In order to use backup and recovery solutions to gain greater influence on victims . 

The only way to defend against typical intrusions of modern ransomware attacks is for organizations to deploy data security solutions that use encryption . Encryption in use can help hide data , It cannot be stolen by an attacker who has privileged access to enterprise resources . 

The demand for enhanced data protection has driven the significant growth of the data encryption market , Researchers at 2020 The market was valued at 94.3 Billion dollars , And expect 2030 The market value will reach 423 Billion dollars .Gartner It is also expected , Data encryption will become more and more popular in the future ; Expect to 2023 year ,40% Your enterprise will have multiple sites 、 Mixed and multicolor data encryption strategies , And in the 2020 This proportion is less than 5%.
