USE CASE: POST-INFECTION MALWARE REMEDIATION

Neutralize INFOSTEALER Malware Threats

Reimaging an infected device isn’t enough. Infostealer malware captures credentials and session cookies, giving attackers access to your systems. SpyCloud shows you exactly what was stolen from infected devices and enables automated remediation steps to revoke access, reset application credentials, and invalidate session cookies to eliminate post-infection risk.

A more complete malware response workflow with SpyCloud

SpyCloud helps SOC and IR teams uncover the full impact of infostealer infections, even on unmanaged devices like contractors’ laptops. With SpyCloud’s comprehensive exposure data, you can act quickly and decisively to shut down every entry point to reduce ransomware risk and streamline response.

Uncover the full scope of malware exposure
Identify exposed credentials, session cookies, and application access tied to malware infections, with data sourced directly from the criminal underground
Automate remediation your way
Terminate stolen SSO sessions, reset exposed credentials, and cut off unexpected entry points for ransomware – all at your preferred level of automation with integrations into your IdP, EDR, SIEM, or SOAR
Extend remediation to unmanaged devices
Detect infections and critical exposures stemming from infected unmanaged or personal devices that interact with corporate apps – the blind spots EDR tools often miss

Post-infection remediation FAQs

Post-Infection Remediation is SpyCloud’s critical addition to malware infection response – making it possible to understand, visualize, and act on the full scope of an infection’s threat to your business. The result is precise identity response after an infection and the ability to negate entry points for ransomware attacks fueled by malware-exfiltrated access details (credentials, cookies, and more).

Post-Infection Remediation provides a framework of additional steps to existing incident response protocols, designed to shut down opportunities for ransomware and other targeted attacks by resetting the application credentials and invalidating session cookies siphoned by infostealer malware. This optimized remediation enables the SOC to seamlessly and comprehensively neutralize the risk of ransomware from these exposures.

It’s an approach uniquely enabled by SpyCloud. We alert security teams each time a malware infection arises on a device accessing your workforce applications. The alerts deliver definitive evidence of entry points to your organization: detailed information about the device, along with the siphoned authentication details for the applications that matter to your business – password managers, security tools, marketing and customer databases, learning and collaboration applications, and HR and payroll systems, to name a few.

As a result of Post-Infection Remediation, security teams can now disrupt cybercriminals attempting to harm businesses.

Endpoint protection products still miss certain infostealer malware types on corporate devices, and do not account for infections on unmanaged / personal devices accessing corporate applications. Post-Infection Remediation is enabled by a product we offer, which detects infostealer infections on managed, unmanaged, and undermanaged devices where authentication details have been exfiltrated and likely to be used against the enterprise. In short, Post-Infection Remediation is additive to EDR.

SpyCloud often surfaces identity exposures within hours of infection, long before they appear on the dark web – enabling faster, more effective remediation.
