Slovakia’s Land Registry Attack: A Wake-Up Call for Ransomware Resilience

A large-scale cyberattack has crippled Slovakia’s Land Registry Office, paralyzing public services, disrupting municipalities, and raising concerns about data integrity. The suspected ransomware attack has locked access to crucial property ownership records, with hackers demanding millions in ransom. Reports indicate that insufficient backup strategies are delaying recovery, potentially for weeks or months.

⚙️ Key Security Measures to Mitigate Ransomware Risks

✅ Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) – Every access request is verified, limiting unauthorized lateral movement within the system.
✅ Just-in-Time (JIT) Access & Least Privilege (LP) – Ensuring that privileged access is granted only when necessary and revoked after task completion.
✅ AI-Powered Threat Detection – Identifying anomalous behavior in real time to block suspicious activities before damage occurs.
✅ Immutable Backups & Rapid Recovery – Securing backups that cannot be encrypted by attackers and ensuring they are instantly deployable.
✅ Privileged Session Monitoring & Recording – Keeping a detailed audit trail of privileged users to detect and prevent malicious actions.

🛡️ How Fudo Security Prevents Such Attacks

Fudo Security’s AI-powered NextGen PAM ensures that even if attackers breach the perimeter, they cannot escalate privileges or disable recovery processes.
🧠 Real-time AI-driven behavioral analytics – Adaptively detects unauthorized activity and stops breaches before they spread.
⚖️ Just-in-Time Access & Least Privilege enforcement – Eliminates unnecessary standing privileges, reducing attack surfaces.
🔎 Secure Session Recording & Monitoring – Ensures full visibility into all privileged actions, preventing unauthorized data alterations.
🔐 On-Prem & Immutable Backups – Protects critical infrastructure from ransomware encryption, enabling instant rollback in case of an attack.
