"Ransomware Groups Prioritize Defense Evasion for Data Exfiltration"

Cisco Talos reports that ransomware attackers are increasingly focusing on defense evasion to boost dwell time in victim networks. This is due to the double-extortion ransomware model, in which attackers steal sensitive data and threaten to publish it online while locking down victims' systems. According to researchers, ransomware threat actors seek persistent access to gain insight into the target network's structure, find resources to support their attack, and identify valuable data. A new Cisco Talos report delves into 14 of the most active ransomware groups between 2023 and 2024. This article continues to discuss key findings from the Cisco Talos report on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of the ransomware groups.
