Why It Matters
Ransomware is an ever-growing threat to thousands of organizations and businesses worldwide. Here are the top ransomware statistics you need to be aware of:
- The economic losses caused by ransomware to businesses are growing larger.The average ransom in 2024 is $2.73 million, almost an increase of $1 million from 2023, according to Sophos.
- Legacy solution can't effectively stop advanced ransomware. Traditional network and endpoint security simply haven't kept up with rapidly evolving threat. Relying on outdated antivirus signatures won't help you enterprise block new ransomware.
- More and more players.In 2023, Recorded Future reported 538 new ransomware variants.
- RDP is the most common exposure and attack vector for ransomware. DAS-Security's TI team researchers found that RDP accounted for 25% of total exposures, which found RDP was the initial attack vector in 50% of ransomware attacks.

Pre-Attack: External Attack surface reduction
By utilizing EASM (External Attack Surface Management) services, organizations can identify shadow assets, close unnecessary ports and services, patch high-priority vulnerabilities, and establish stricter access control policies.

During-Attack: AI-powered ransomware detection
In the case of unknown ransomware attempting encryption, EDR uses a decoy engine to detect and block its encryption behavior, effectively protecting the host system.
EDR and NDR gather telemetry data from endpoints and network traffic, perform correlated analysis, and integrate AI model capabilities to accurately identify attacks and reconstruct the attack chain. This approach can prevent unknown and 0-day attacks, including ransomware attacks.

During & Post-Attack: 24 /7 expertise Unstoppable Prevention
Continuous Monitoring:Our security experts will monitor your environment for alerts, events and indicators 24/7/365.
Incident Response: If a ransomware event occurs, you can engage the DAS-Security Incident Response team to investigate the nature of the attack and then quickly remediate and eradicate it.

Post-Attack: Dynamic Backup &Recovery
By deploying bait files, it precisely detects ransomware encryption behavior and triggers backup files automatically.
Post-incident, there is a one-click restore option for automatically backed up files to resume business operations.
