Malicious actors are constantly coming up with new ways to attack organizations. These unrecognized attacks, such as ransomware threats, pose critical risks to businesses and are the hardest to prevent. Many companies rely on SOC teams to detect issues after their systems have been breached. But often, this approach may be too late to prevent ransomware from taking hold and causing major damage.

A strategy that includes zero-day protection against unknown threats is significantly more effective at preventing breaches—and the damage they cause. Check Point’s evasion-resistant technology maximizes zero-day protection without compromising business productivity. Organizations should follow these three strategies to reduce the risk of unknown attacks by implementing a prevent-first approach:

• Automate the detection of ransomware threats
• Extract threats before they reach sensitive environments
• Simplify detection, response, and remediation
