# Prevent vs. Pay

## Introduction Choose a better ransomware plan

Given ransomware starts with vulnerabilities in your infrastructure, it seems that preventing being a ransomware victim should be as simple as securing your vulnerabilities. Not so.

### Learn about how to stop ransomware from exploiting vulnerabilities in your infrastructure, including:

- ### Lowering your digital footprint to impede reconnaissance of your IT ecosystem
- ### Preventing malware attacks against your unpatched, internet-facing shadow assets
- ### Securing legacy infrastructure, particularly as your cyberattack surface expands with new OT and IoT

# SEE BEYOND PERIMETERS

### At CybelAngel, we see beyond perimeters to protect businesses from the most critical external digital threats. Our unique machine learning platform and expert analysts provide a powerful solution to proactively protect from threats. CybelAngel’s speed and accuracy help a company close the loop on digital risks long before attackers see an opportunity.
