Ransomware-as-a-Service

Updated on 1 min

Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a criminal business model in which developers rent ready-made ransomware toolkits to affiliates. The affiliates carry out the actual attacks and share the ransom payments with the developers. This significantly lowers the technical barrier to entry for cyber attacks. RaaS platforms often provide dashboards, support channels, and even SLAs. For your ISMS this means the threat landscape is tightening continuously because the pool of potential attackers keeps growing. Threat-intelligence feeds help you detect active RaaS campaigns early.
