This article is about the heavy distribution Cerber ransomeware and how it has taken over Locky in the last three months of the top ransomware threat. Cerber is “ransomeware as a service” which allows novice users to pay for it to be used against targets.
The article emphasized that controls inside the perimeter are key to defending against malware such as Cerber because it is able to sneak past endpoint- and malware-detection technologies. For example, least privilege access control is key to defending against this ransomeware because it crawls the network looking for accessible file systems and encrypting its contents.
This is an example of the importance of having a defense in depth approach to information security.
