Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: Ransomware attacks and data breaches seem to be continuously contending for the top positions in news feeds. During a ransomware attack, cybercriminals deploy malware (malicious software) into targeted computer systems to seize and encrypt sensitive data.

According to the ICO, the following conditions constitute a data breach: Together, these conditions could classify every ransomware attack event as a data breach: Many organizations with a reliable backup strategy continue to assume that a breach notification is unnecessary if encrypted data is rapidly replaced with clean backups.

Such an intelligent approach to Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) greatly mitigates the potential of ransomware and data breach attacks occurring through the most complex attack surface - the third-party network. UpGuard's comprehensive attack surface monitoring engine empowers organizations to address vulnerabilities that are commonly exploited to facilitate ransomware attacks and data breaches - both internally and throughout the vendor network.
