The ransomware threat landscape has rapidly evolved. Modern attacks can move from initial access to encryption in minutes, exploiting expanded attack surfaces, cloud environments, remote workforces, and off-hours security gaps. Every additional minute of response time gives attackers the opportunity to escalate privileges, disable backups, and spread laterally across the network.

Against this reality, prevention alone is no longer sufficient. Organizations need a security approach that prioritizes rapid detection and response. ESET Managed Detection and Response combines advanced security technologies with 24/7 human-led monitoring to isolate compromised endpoints in under six minutes by stopping ransomware and active threats before they become business-disrupting incidents.
