Going to RSA? Meet with the executive team at Virsec to learn about our latest innovation in server workload hardening, TrustSight!
Do you have Windows 2012 running in your environment that can't be patched?
Embracing digital transformation while retaining legacy systems doesn’t have to come at a huge cost or pose a significant risk to an organization. Virsec extends a Zero Trust approach to protecting legacy and server workloads as effectively as modern platforms — economically and for good.

Ransomware typically infiltrates through common attack vectors including exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities, remote desktop access, phishing, and credential abuse. Ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) has become a well-established criminal market, making it easy for attackers to access exploit services.
Adversaries have gotten much faster at exploiting new vulnerabilities, with attacks surfacing merely hours after a new vulnerability is announced. Per SANS, unpatched vulnerabilities are some of the biggest and first attack vectors adversaries use.
Fileless malware, frequently used by attackers, easily evades traditional detection and response solutions, often by deploying malicious code directly into memory. Use of Living-off-the-land binaries (lolbins) is another technique used successfully to evade detection. After infiltrating a victim’s systems, attackers increasingly exfiltrate data before encrypting it to create “double extortion,” which is a threat to publicly release stolen information and crippling business systems. Ransomware groups have increased their impact by targeting cloud infrastructures to exploit known vulnerabilities in cloud applications, virtual machines, and VM orchestration software (CISA Report, 2021). Organizations are looking to stop ransomware threats ideally instantly at runtime and reduce dwell time to near zero while also seeking better operational efficiencies such as fewer false positives.
Ransomware has become one of the most prevalent attack types globally, doubling in frequency annually (Verizon DBIR 2021). 37% of global organizations said they were victims of a ransomware attack in 2021 (IDC 2021 Ransomware Study).

The most modern of solutions, zero trust protection of application workloads, takes a fundamentally different approach. Virsec Map automatically maps authorized processes, scripts, and libraries for the application workload and Virsec Enforce continuously enforces the mapping to maintain zero trust provenance and integrity of the dependencies. This mapping spans multiple layers, including the host filesystem, executables, and their libraries, memory, and web requests. By knowing exactly what is allowed at each layer, any malicious behavior is stopped instantly at runtime, thus reducing dwell time to milliseconds. This has proven to be highly effective at stopping modern threats that use advanced techniques such as fileless attacks, process hollowing, buffer overflow attacks, and SQL injection.
In fact, deterministic protection blocks more attacks on the MITRE Software Weaknesses and OWASP Top Ten lists than any other type of solution. Most remarkably, this approach can even protect unpatched systems. Another significant benefit is the drastic reduction in false positives.Virsec Capabilities
Other solutions that rely on analysis generate so many false positive alerts that it overwhelms teams. With a positive security model and automated allow listing, you can protect legacy systems AND avoid all the alert fatigue.
