Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast SVP of Cyber Strategy Tom Kellermann | 6/28

Insight #1

Most ransomware deploys a remote-access Trojan (RAT), which allows for secondary infections to occur and enables access to victims’ networks to be sold in Darkweb forums.

 

Insight #2

Most ransomware is delivered initially through the exploitation of a vulnerability. Runtime Security can mitigate this: It’s a highly effective exploit prevention for zero days, unknown vulnerabilities and a broad array of exploit techniques.

 

Insight #3

Large Language Model s (LLMs) can be poisoned and forced to hallucinate via a myriad of application attacks.  See OWASP's Top 10 for LLM (PDF).  

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a dark passenger.
