Defend Against Ransomware & Identity-based Attacks: Boosting Your Cyber Defense with Zscaler ITDRTM

Reducing Risk with Actionable Insights, for Better Response

Zscaler ITDR automatically surfaces hidden risks that might otherwise slip through the cracks, such as unmanaged identities, misconfigured settings, and even credential misuse. The solution offers organizations visibility and autonomous response capabilities, while also providing continuous assessment of AD misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and active threats in real time and giving prescriptive guidance to close exposures and gaps in customer AD environments.

Restrict or terminate those identities causing trouble and shut down threats before they have a chance to wreak havoc. You could also respond with capabilities such as tricking the attacker into misdirection and deception. For example, when a solution detects an identity-based attack, it can provide fake data that redirects and lures an attacker to a decoy using Zscaler Deception. Zscaler provides a deception environment of decoy systems and data mimicking production assets to misdirect attacks, engage attackers, and collect information on adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Zscaler automatically isolates the compromised system conducting the identity-based attack from the rest of the environment, limiting interaction only with the decoy environment.

Besides, Zscaler ITDR is integrated into the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchangewhich dynamically applies access policy controls to block compromised users when an identity attack is detected. This paralyzes the hacker from laterally moving across the systems and further checks the spread of ransomware.
