Sophos MTR in action: Neutralizing Cuba ransomware

Let me share with you a recent example of how Sophos MTR identified and neutralized a ransomware attack on a manufacturing organization, preventing data exfiltration, data encryption, business interruption, lost revenue, and remediation costs.

• Our operators detected suspicious indicators in the environment of a 200-seat customer working in the manufacturing sector. They noticed tools associated with ransomware groups along with Cobalt Strike, an adversary simulation tool that is commonly abused by threat actors
• Sophos MTR instantly alerted the customer and started an investigation, sharing samples with SophosLabs for detailed analysis
• Within 30 minutes SophosLabs confirmed a threat actor had gained access to the customers’ environment, and the adversary’s tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) matched the early stages of a Cuba ransomware attack
• Our team rapidly neutralized and evicted the adversary, preventing both data exfiltration and data encryption, and saving the customer hundreds of thousands of dollars of remediation cost, not to mention business interruption and lost earnings
• We were also able to guide the customer on how to harden their defenses to reduce the likelihood of future incidents
