We are back with the second part of our M-Trends podcast where Luke
McNamara, Principal Analyst continues discussing highlights and
insights from this year’s report with Jurgen Kutscher, EVP of Mandiant
Solutions.

We pick back up with the nature of multiple attackers in an
environment—notably, whether or not they are aware of other attackers
in the environment and if they are collaborating. Jurgen then
discusses the rise of insider threats and how organizations can
improve the monitoring and detection of insider threats.

Ransomware use continues to rise—attackers are having success and
generating revenue, so we don’t expect this trend to level off any
time soon. Jurgen provides steps that organizations can take to reduce
their risk of falling victim to ransomware, and suggests organizations
take a look at our ransomware white paper for more containment
strategies:
