How Modern Ransomware Moves and How to Stop It Early
February 4, 2026
Ransomware has evolved -- and so have the techniques attackers use to stay hidden. They quietly establish a foothold, locate the domain controller, and move laterally across the network using encrypted protocols, often staying invisible until it’s too late.
Learn:
• How modern ransomware tactics differ from earlier attacks
• Why lateral movement is the critical phase defenders must catch
• How attackers minimize their network footprint to avoid detection
• Why seeing activity before encryption begins is the key to prevention ExtraHop gives security teams the early warning they need — minutes, hours, or even days before ransomware executes — so they can stop attackers before real damage occurs.
