Attackers are more easily able to circumvent email security controls of even the most mature organizations through well-crafted social engineering tactics, resulting in stolen account credentials and ultimately account takeovers. Does this tool integrate with our existing architecture (e.g., SIEM, SOAR)?

Like any malware, ransomware enters the network through attack vectors like phishing emails , social engineering , software and remote desktop protocol (RDP) vulnerabilities, and malicious websites. Though network firewalls and EDR remain trusty defense layers, they fail to guard against the advanced insider threat.
