Description of the service
The Anti-Ransomware Threat Intelligence service is a proactive monitoring and analysis solution that focuses on the early identification of signals of compromise, exposure, or preparation of ransomware attacks that may affect an organization and its ecosystem.
Unlike a simple leaked credentials alert, the service is able to provide concrete technical information linked to potentially compromised workstations, specific accounts, and systems that are actually exposed. Where available, the data may include hostname, username, IP address, date and time of compromise, operating system, involved software, and other elements useful for targeted technical analysis.
This approach allows organizations to move from a generic alert to a precise operational indication, enabling the security team to act before encryption and operational disruption occur, since access to an infrastructure may be sold or transferred before a ransomware attack is actually executed.
The service does not require installations, agents, or access to the internal network. It is sufficient to define the relevant public perimeter, such as domains or IP addresses.
Who is the service intended for?
The Anti-Ransomware Threat Intelligence service is designed for all organizations that want to reduce the risk of operational downtime caused by ransomware, maintain visibility over their exposure, and adopt a proactive approach to prevention. It is particularly useful for:
- Companies of any size,
from small and medium-sized enterprises to large multinational corporations that are not fully certain their current security measures are sufficient and want to verify their effectiveness while maintaining continuous visibility over their exposure.
- Financial and insurance institutions,
banks, investment companies, and insurance companies that handle sensitive data and want to know whether there are already compromised accesses or breaches not yet visible internally, thus preventing violations that could have regulatory and reputational impacts.
- Regulated and high-risk industries,
organizations operating in industries such as healthcare, energy, telecommunications, and defense, which need to strengthen their security posture for compliance purposes (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, GDPR) and require extended monitoring across strategic suppliers.
- Government and public institutions,
government agencies and institutions that handle sensitive or critical information can benefit from the service to monitor not only their own perimeter but also that of partners and third parties with whom they share data or access.
- Information security team and chief information security officer (CISO),
security managers who want to complement and enhance existing solutions such as SOC, EDR, or SIEM with a service focused on external visibility and ransomware attack prevention.
- Technology companies and security service providers,
IT solution providers and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) that want to stay ahead and adopt advanced cybersecurity services based on modern threat analysis and monitoring techniques.
The service is particularly suitable for organizations that want to maintain visibility and control across their supply chain.
Benefits of the service
The main benefits of the service are:
- Ransomware attack prevention,
intercepts signals of compromise and attack preparation before data encryption and operational disruption.
- External exposure visibility,
provides concrete and actionable information on compromised workstations, exposed credentials, and accesses sold on the dark web.
- Supply chain monitoring,
extends visibility beyond your own perimeter, including strategic suppliers, partners, and third parties.
- Compliance support,
contributes to strengthening security posture for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance.
Output of the service
The Anti-Ransomware Threat Intelligence service produces in output:
- Initial threat analysis report,
Report provided at the time of service activation with evidence found on the monitored perimeter.
- Immediate notifications,
Encrypted communications sent promptly in the event of newly detected compromises or data leaks.
- Bi-monthly status report,
Report providing a clear overview of evidence found during the period or confirming the absence of new compromises.
How the service works?
The process is divided into several key steps to ensure that the service is carried out smoothly and effectively. Here are the main activities that will be carried out:
- Definition of the public perimeter to be monitored,
in this initial phase, the monitoring perimeter is defined in collaboration with the client, including strategic suppliers or partners if required. It is sufficient to provide the relevant domains or IP addresses.
- Collection and analysis of evidence,
continuous collection and analysis of evidence related to exposed credentials, compromised access, and indicators associated with infections or ransomware activity is conducted through proprietary intelligence sources and the dark web.
- Technical correlation of information,
collected information is correlated to identify concrete cases and reduce false positives, providing where available detailed technical data related to affected workstations and compromised accounts.
- Notification and operational recommendations,
when new critical evidence is detected, an immediate encrypted notification is sent, accompanied upon request by operational recommendations for risk mitigation.
The service does not directly block attacks and does not replace active defense solutions. It does not involve internal access or penetration testing activities. Remediation actions remain the responsibility of the client. It integrates naturally with existing security measures, strengthening them and providing an additional layer of visibility and prevention.
Average time of engagement
Activation is fast and does not require complex projects. Once the monitoring perimeter is defined, the service can be launched quickly with the first threat report delivered during activation.
