Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, exploiting not just software vulnerabilities but also hardware assets as ransomware vehicles. Traditional cybersecurity measures often focus on network and software-based threats, leaving a critical blind spot: the physical layer. Unmanaged or rogue devices provide an entry point for attackers, enabling ransomware to bypass traditional defenses and wreak havoc on an organization’s infrastructure.
Bentsi Ben-Atar on the Role of Hardware in Ransomware Attacks
Bentsi Ben-Atar, CMO and Co-founder of Sepio, explores how hardware assets as ransomware vehicles enable attackers to deploy malicious payloads undetected. Without full visibility into hardware assets, organizations remain vulnerable to ransomware infiltration through hidden attack vectors.
Eliminate Visibility Blind Spots with L1 Physical Layer Data
Managing hardware assets effectively requires a shift to L1 physical layer data—the only way to gain complete visibility into all connected devices. By leveraging Sepio’s Asset Risk Management (ARM) solution, organizations can:
- Achieve Ultimate Visibility – Detect every hardware asset, including rogue and unmanaged devices, in real time.
- Harness Machine Learning & Physical Layer Fingerprinting – Identify and classify hardware threats before they become an entry point for ransomware.
- Eliminate Security Gaps – Close the visibility blind spots that traditional security tools fail to address.
Protect Your Organization from Hardware-Based Ransomware Threats
Cybercriminals are leveraging hardware assets as ransomware vehicles to launch attacks that bypass traditional security tools. Sepio’s ARM solution ensures organizations gain ultimate visibility and control over their hardware assets, closing security gaps before they can be exploited.
