CYBER RESILIENCE / RANSOMWARE
Make Stolen Data Worthless to Ransomware
Modern ransomware doesn't just encrypt your data — it steals it and threatens to leak it. Lattix keeps data encrypted and policy-bound at all times, so exfiltrated files stay unreadable and double-extortion loses its leverage.
Ransomware has shifted from pure encryption to double and triple extortion: attackers exfiltrate sensitive data first, then encrypt systems, then threaten to publish what they took. Backups solve the availability problem but do nothing for the data that has already walked out the door. Once attackers hold readable copies of your data, the leverage is real — and paying does not guarantee deletion. The core weakness is that data sits in plaintext, accessible to whatever account or process the attacker compromises.
- Attackers exfiltrate readable data before encrypting systems, enabling extortion.
- Backups restore availability but can't un-steal data that's already gone.
- Compromised accounts and processes can reach plaintext data freely.
- There's no way to prove what attackers actually accessed or took.
- Paying a ransom doesn't guarantee leaked data is deleted or unrecoverable.
Keep Data Encrypted and Bound
Lattix keeps data wrapped in Zero Trust Data Format at rest and in use, bound to an access policy and its own keys. Even if an attacker reaches the files, they hold encrypted objects that require live policy evaluation to open — exfiltrated copies are unreadable outside your control.
Deny Compromised Access
Attribute-based access control evaluates every request, so a compromised account or process must still satisfy policy — device posture, context, behavior — to access data. Lateral movement no longer hands attackers your crown jewels, and access can be revoked the instant compromise is detected.
Collapse Extortion Leverage
When stolen data stays encrypted and revocable, the threat to leak it loses its force — there is nothing readable to publish. Double-extortion economics break down, removing the attacker's primary point of leverage.
Prove Scope and Recover Cleanly
A tamper-evident ledger records every access, so incident response can prove exactly what was — and wasn't — reachable. Recovery and breach notification rest on verifiable evidence instead of worst-case assumptions.
Neutralize Exfiltration
Stolen data stays encrypted and policy-bound, so a copy is not a usable breach.
Break Double Extortion
Unreadable, revocable data removes the leverage behind leak-or-pay threats.
Contain Lateral Movement
Compromised accounts still face policy enforcement on every data access.
Instant Revocation
Cut access the moment compromise is detected, everywhere the data exists.
Provable Incident Scope
A tamper-evident ledger shows exactly what was reachable, narrowing breach impact.
Confident Notification
Base breach reporting on verifiable evidence rather than worst-case assumptions.

How does Lattix help against ransomware?
Lattix keeps data encrypted and policy-bound at all times, so even if ransomware exfiltrates files they remain unreadable and revocable outside your control. Access is enforced on every request, limiting what a compromised account can reach, and every access is recorded to a tamper-evident ledger for provable incident scope.
Does this protect against double-extortion ransomware?
Yes. Double extortion relies on threatening to leak stolen data. When exfiltrated data stays encrypted and policy-bound, there is nothing readable to publish, which removes the attacker's primary leverage.
Isn't this what backups are for?
Backups restore availability after an attack but do nothing for data that has already been stolen. Lattix complements backups by keeping the data itself encrypted, access-controlled, and revocable so exfiltration doesn't translate into a usable breach.
Can Lattix show us what attackers accessed?
Yes. Every access is written to a tamper-evident ledger, so incident response can prove exactly what was and wasn't reachable, supporting accurate breach notification instead of worst-case assumptions.
