WannaCrypt proactive measures with NTA

May 16, 2017

In an effort to help protect our company and our customers’ from wcrypt, we documented in this post a series of steps followed by our incident response team which temporarily re-enforced our cyber defenses. To gain some background on this ransomware, the initial infection was stopped by a researcher that stumbled across the kill switch and ended up saving a lot of people. However, this measure was only a stopgap as the malware author(s) or another person could easily repackage this contagion with a craftier sandbox test mechanism.
