Defeat Cryptojacking Malware with Responsive Automation
Summary
Once the infection takes hold, the malware saps compute resources and bogs down critical servers, using an average of 25% of an endpoint’s processing power. While an increased power bill and slowed machines might set off alarm bells, many organizations would struggle to identify and remediate the threat on that information alone. Sadly, in the case of midsize businesses most infections aren’t detected by the victim at all, but by a 3rd party who discovers the fallout through other means. The average attack takes 73 days to be fully repaired.1 Responding to threats in a timely fashion can be the difference between a quick fix and a major security incident. Responsive automation makes it possible for these organizations to respond faster and stay up to date with the latest threat intelligence with minimal effort on the part of their IT teams.
