In fact, there was a [17% increase](https://securityboulevard.com/2022/01/2021-ransomware-attack-report/) in reported ransomware attacks from 2020 to 2021. Unfortunately, the growth rate is set to continue into 2022 as adversaries look for larger scope attacks and bigger payouts than ever before. More than [80% of the attacks in 2021](https://securityboulevard.com/2022/01/2021-ransomware-attack-report/) were data exfiltration attacks, where cybercriminals held critical data hostage for a large payout and 90% profit. Cybercriminals are also looking for new areas of weakness to exploit such as attacking the cloud, Managed Service Providers, industrial processes, and the supply chain – all in hopes of finding one small gap to penetrate. So what can organizations do to prevent themselves from becoming the next victim of phishing, stolen RDP credentials, brute force, or exploitation attacks? As any victim of a ransomware attack can tell you, it’s much less costly and disruptive to prevent an attack than pay a ransom and repair the damage caused. But how can organizations do that when attacks are constantly evolving? The answer lies in the power of ransomware prevention: an end-to-end deep learning cybersecurity framework that goes far beyond the limitations of machine learning. Machine learning (ML) requires a human domain expert to define and engineer features for conducting classification. These features can be reverse engineered by bad actors, as was witnessed by the [Cylance workaround](https://securityboulevard.com/2019/07/a-universal-bypass-tricks-cylance-ai-antivirus-into-accepting-all-top-10-malware-revealing-a-new-attack-surface-for-machine-learning-based-security/). Vandis is proud to have recently partnered with Deep Instinct to provide your environment with the highest level of ransomware protection. They take a prevention-first approach to stopping ransomware and other malware using the world’s first and only purpose built, deep learning cyber security framework.  ![Deep Learning vs Machine Learning](https://vandis.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/deep-learning-vs-machine-learning-2.png) Learn more about their complete, multi-layered ransomware protection by [downloading this eBook](https://vandis.com/hubfs/co-brandedDI-Ransomware-Prevention-Ebook.pdf).  Tag(s): [Cybersecurity Threats & Breaches](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/cybersecurity-threats-breaches) , [Security & Cybersecurity](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/security-cybersecurity) ## [Vandis](https://vandis.com/insights/author/vandis) ### Blog Post Cards View All Posts June 15, 2026 ##### [ Securing AI in Practice: How Vandis and F5 Approach the Controls ](https://vandis.com/insights/securing-ai-in-practice-how-vandis-and-f5-approach-the-controls) [Artifical intelligence](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/artifical-intelligence) June 1, 2026 ##### [ Why AI Has Outpaced Enterprise Security and What Changes Now ](https://vandis.com/insights/why-ai-has-outpaced-enterprise-security-and-what-changes-now) [Artifical intelligence](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/artifical-intelligence) February 12, 2026 ##### [ Vandis Named to CRN's MSP 500 List for 2026 ](https://vandis.com/insights/vandis-named-to-crns-msp-500-list-for-2026) [Managed services](https://vandis.com/insights/tag/managed-services) ### Keep In Touch With Vandis Stay up-to-date on the latest in cyber security, networking and connectivity, and cloud solutions [![Vandis](https://vandis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/raw_assets/public/vandis-u4m/templates/images/Logo.png?width=209&height=467&name=Logo.png "Vandis")](https://vandis.com/) Tailored security and networking guidance: Building a secure and optimized network for your hybrid environment. **Corporate Office** 1 Albertson Avenue Albertson, NY 11507 **Phone: [(516) 281-2200](tel:5162812200)** **Toll Free: (800) 397-3146** **Fax: (516) 626-9003** - Services - [Professional Services](https://vandis.com/professional-services) - [Managed Services](https://vandis.com/managed-services) - [Project Management Services](https://vandis.com/project-management-services) - Solutions - [Cyber Security](https://vandis.com/cyber-security) - [Networking & Connectivity](https://vandis.com/networking-and-connectivity) - [Cloud Solutions](https://vandis.com/cloud-solutions) - Partners - [Our Partners](https://vandis.com/vandis-partners) - Resources - [Resources Library](https://vandis.com/resources) - [Events](https://vandis.com/events) - [Blog](https://vandis.com/insights) - [Our Portfolio](https://vandis.com/case-studies) - [Contract Vehicles](https://vandis.com/contract-vehicles) - Who We Are - [Who We Are](https://vandis.com/about-vandis) - [Careers](https://vandis.com/vandis-careers) © 2026 Vandis Inc., All Rights Reserved.
