Ransomware incidents have surged in recent years, hitting unprecedented levels with staggering statistics from 2023. Payments doubled to over $1.1 billion [1], signaling a significant comeback from the decline in 2022. The expanded use of cloud deployments, increased remote access, and other digital transformation initiatives have significantly widened the attack surface.
Fortunately, this malware variant has a critical weakness. No matter how it is delivered, almost all ransomware requires admin privileges to execute its payload, encrypt data, and further spread its tendrils.
