Proactive Protection Against Ransomware and AI Threats

This document is a technical report that outlines the increasing threat of cybercrime, particularly focusing on ransomware and AI-driven attacks. It describes the evolution of threat actors who leverage artificial intelligence to enhance their malicious campaigns, thereby increasing the sophistication and frequency of attacks. The report emphasizes the inadequacies of traditional 'detect and respond' security measures, which are often reactive and unable to prevent attacks before they occur. It presents a proactive solution through Protective DNS, which aims to block threats before they infiltrate an organization's network. The report details how this approach can significantly reduce breach risks and operational burdens by utilizing predictive threat intelligence and advanced DNS analytics. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of improved visibility and control over network security, enabling organizations to safeguard their infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. The document also includes case studies demonstrating successful implementations of the proposed solutions.
