Leverage Advanced SIEM Tools to Implement Security Best Practices and Improve Ransomware Detection
Security for your privileged accounts
It’s important for security teams to realize that once a threat actor gains access to privileged or
admin accounts, it can be difficult to restrict the damage. Proper privilege-access management is crucial to counter not only ransomware but also other kinds of cyberattacks. SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM) helps you monitor suspicious log activity, including monitoring user
activity on the registry and detecting any changes in the extension of files, their locations, and authorizations.
With SEM, you can set predefined or manually create threshold-based alerts for suspicious activity, such as triggering whenever someone repeatedly fails authentication or for daily logins beyond a certain limit and from multiple locations that occur within a few minutes of each other. You can also define group policies for Windows to restrict access to folder locations where ransomware is most commonly installed.
Leverage threat intelligence feeds to strengthen security
Ransomware detection software needs to stay ahead of the sophisticated methods threat actors use to target
organizations. SEM includes a community-sourced, continuously updated intelligence feed of known malicious hosts/IPs and
attack vectors. By collecting, consolidating, and analyzing all your log data alongside threat intelligence feeds, SEM is built to
automatically detect, alert, and respond to ransomware attacks with increased agility.
Get end-to-end log visibility for network and users
SEM helps you monitor the health of your environment to help improve your ransomware detection process by collecting and
correlating a wide range of log types, including log files from network devices, servers, applications, and more. SolarWinds SEM
is designed to support deep-dive log data
analysis with customizable log search and visualization features.

Do you find yourself asking…
A ransomware attack is when an unauthorized user, usually a hacker or another malicious actor, accesses enterprise networking devices and data. The ransomware bad actor then holds this information hostage through encryption or other blocking methods, demanding a ransom from the affected business if they hope to regain access.
Lack of enterprise access is the primary issue associated with ransomware—when a ransomware attack occurs, the compromised data becomes inaccessible to users, applications, and other devices. While some ransomware hackers threaten to expose sensitive or private enterprise data, most ransomware attacks aim to disrupt business operations to the point where there is no choice but to pay the ransom.
While paying a ransom might seem like the easiest way to deal with ransomware, many government agencies—including the FBI and the No More Ransom Project—advise against this. Paying ransom only encourages the ransomware cycle, and half of the ransomware victims who pay will suffer from a repeat attack due to the prior attack’s success.
