Halcyon’s Cynthia Kaiser on the state of ransomware
In this episode, Greg Otto talks with Cynthia Kaiser Sr. Vice President of Halcyon’s Ransomware Research Center, discussing the latest ransomware operations and exploring the latest shifts in the cyber threat landscape. Greg and Cynthia discuss the rise of new groups like DragonForce, SafePay, and Fog, and the decline of once-dominant names such as LockBit and BlackBasta. They also discuss unique tactics and tools employed by emerging players, discuss the impact of law enforcement and internal group dynamics, and examine why certain industries are now prime targets. Learn how attackers choose their victims, the early warning signs organizations should watch for, and the most frequent pitfalls in ransomware defense.
In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Matt Kapko about the deep drive into an accused ransomware affiliate that has been given a long leash by law enforcement while he awaits trial.
