Ransomware remains one of the most relevant cyber threats to commercial enterprises. Within the ransomware ecosystem, threat actors continue to evolve and form new structures to develop malware, identify targets, and carry out attacks. The following whitepaper highlights one such structure, the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation, and dives deep into the unique threats it poses, particularly for the transportation sector.
This whitepaper will provide key insights into:
- Differences between conventional ransomware gangs and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operations;
- Background information, including details on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), for five of the most active RaaS operations in the current cyber landscape; and
- Context for how these operations pose threats for all businesses, including small and medium-sized companies, in the transportation sector.
