September 2020 Summaries

Remote working has increased the risk of ransomware attacks due to the proliferation of corporate VPNs. Sophisticated ransomware syndicates are targeting enterprises, using affiliate-based business models and exploiting vulnerabilities in VPN solutions. The lack of security awareness among employees and inadequate patching of vulnerable VPN gateways have contributed to these attacks. Twingate's zero-trust security solution offers better protection against ransomware by treating the network as a potential threat vector and focusing on protecting each resource, rather than relying on traditional VPN-based security measures.
