Title: “Mitigating Ransomware Attacks: An Integrated Approach for Cybersecurity Resilience”
Abstract:
In an era dominated by digital interconnectedness, the rise of ransomware attacks poses a severe threat to the integrity and security of organizational data. This college project delves into the multifaceted landscape of ransomware attacks, aiming to develop an integrated approach to enhance cybersecurity resilience. The research involves a comprehensive analysis of the evolving tactics employed by cybercriminals, the motivations driving ransomware attacks, and the economic impact on targeted entities.
The project proposes a strategic framework that integrates proactive measures, incident response strategies, and adaptive technologies to fortify defenses against ransomware. It explores the role of machine learning algorithms in detecting and preventing ransomware intrusions, leveraging behavioral analytics to identify anomalous patterns indicative of an impending attack. Furthermore, the research delves into the socio-technical aspects, examining the role of user awareness and training in thwarting phishing attempts, a common entry point for ransomware.
By examining real-world case studies and conducting simulations, the project seeks to provide practical insights for organizations to bolster their cybersecurity posture. The anticipated outcome is a holistic and adaptive cybersecurity framework that can be tailored to diverse organizational contexts, fostering resilience against the evolving landscape of ransomware threats. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on cybersecurity and aims to equip organizations with the knowledge and tools necessary to combat the escalating menace of ransomware attacks.
