Combat rising cyberattacks with Progress Flowmon — detect anomalies, prevent ransomware and strengthen your cybersecurity defenses.

This is a sponsored article brought to you by Progress. 

In recent times, we’ve witnessed an alarming surge in global cyberattacks, marked by both increased frequency and complexity. Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, these attacks have risen by a staggering 81%,¹ with threat actors targeting critical infrastructure as their primary focus. 

Of particular concern are ransomware attacks, which occur at an astonishing rate of every 11 seconds as of 2021.² What's more, a staggering 77% of these cases involve threats to release sensitive data.³ The financial implications are also substantial, with the average ransom payout of $800,000 and overall cost of $1.4 million.⁴ If left unchecked, cyber criminality is projected to cost the world a staggering $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.⁵

It's evident that traditional prevention methods are no longer sufficient. While firewalls provide a crucial defense around our perimeter, we must consider the possibility of cyber criminals bypassing these barriers. Additionally, threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, constantly modifying code and employing advanced techniques to remain concealed. However, they unknowingly leave behind traces scattered throughout networks.

To address these evolving challenges, Progress is excited to introduce Flowmon's Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution. Flowmon's NDR offers comprehensive network visibility, threat detection and incident response capabilities. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) principles, Flowmon can identify anomalies and early indicators of compromise that might elude traditional security tools.

Flowmon enables security analysts to swiftly detect potential ransomware infections at an early stage, allowing for immediate action to prevent further damage. By continuously analyzing network traffic patterns and monitoring for suspicious activities, Flowmon empowers organizations to proactively defend against emerging threats.

As Progress continues to adapt to the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, it is essential that partners equip themselves with advanced tools and solutions.
