Calling on all Cisco Partners! Join us for a hands-on cybersecurity lab where you'll explore the use Cisco Security to strengthen your organization's security posture. In this session, you'll delve into the threat landscape dominated by Wizard Spider, a notorious Russia-based, financially motivated threat group. Known for deploying TrickBot since 2016, Wizard Spider has launched ransomware campaigns impacting a wide range of organizations, from major corporations to healthcare facilities.
Wizard Spider is notorious for its high ransom demands, often exceeding several million dollars per incident. A recent report indicates that their ransom demands can reach between $1 million to $10 million, depending on the size and sensitivity of the targeted organization. Some notable organizations that have fallen victim to Wizard Spider's ransomware attacks include:
CNA Financial: The company reportedly paid a ransom of $40 million to regain access to its systems after a significant breach in 2021.
JBS Foods: This major meat processing company paid approximately $11 million in ransom following a ransomware attack attributed to Wizard Spider in 2021.
Kaseya: In 2021, Kaseya was attacked, affecting thousands of businesses globally, with ransoms potentially totaling over $70 million across various victims
Enhance your understanding of Wizard Spider's Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and explore whether these tactics have been used against the lab environment. This is your chance to develop your cybersecurity skills and protect your infrastructure from sophisticated threats.
