How to Stay Ahead of Ransomware: Combining EDR and EPM

Pages 15 Pages

Ransomware remains a top cyber threat as attackers exploit phishing, credential theft, and admin privileges to bypass defenses. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) helps identify malicious behavior but fails once data is encrypted or stolen, often leaving organizations vulnerable to repeat attacks. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) closes these gaps by enforcing least privilege, removing local admin rights, blocking unauthorized apps, and protecting credentials. Combined with EDR, it creates a layered defense that prevents propagation, limits blast radius, and strengthens resilience. Together, EDR and EPM enable proactive, identity-centric security against ransomware.
