Ransomware is a serious threat to all organizations across all industries. VMware provides many capabilities to protect organizations from ransomware attacks. If organizations are infiltrated, VMware technologies enable security operations to protect, detect and respond to these threats. Organizations must focus on deploying end-user solutions—such as Workspace ONE, Horizon, and VMware Carbon Black Cloud—to stop ransomware from entering the environment. vSphere, NSX, VMware Carbon Black Cloud, CloudHealth Secure State, VMware Tanzu, and vRealize Suite provide organizations with robust capabilities to protect against, detect and respond to ransomware in private and public clouds. These solutions must be deployed and configured as part of a larger defense in-depth security model. Once VMware solutions are deployed and configured as documented in this paper, organizations will significantly reduce attack vectors and possess the tools and processes to protect, detect and respond quickly to ransomware events.
