As attackers increasingly target mid-sized organizations and critical infrastructure sectors, ransomware attacks remain a significant cybersecurity threat. To counter this, cybersecurity leaders are focusing on fundamental security practices such as vulnerability management and credential protection, which continue to be common entry points for cybercriminals. The rise of data exfiltration tactics, along with the expanding attack surface created by digital transformation in industries like healthcare, further complicates defenses. Experts recommend that organizations balance attention to emerging risks with a focus on strengthening core cybersecurity hygiene and improving incident response capabilities. As Rosalyn Page explains in her CSO Online article, “5 Things to Know About Ransomware Attacks in 2025,”

“Cyber criminals are going after these companies believing they’re large enough to hold valuable data but lack the protection of larger organizations. Meanwhile, larger organizations need to consider that supply chains and third-party partners that include smaller, mid-size outfits without a dedicated security leader can increase their exposure to risk. In the case of an attack, mid-market organizations may lack the visibility of data leaks and the forensic tools of more mature enterprises to effectively validate ransomware claims.”

To address these growing challenges, FrontierX’s Polaris Secure Containers offer a robust solution. Polaris provides a secure, isolated environment for deploying applications and workloads, helping organizations safeguard sensitive data and prevent ransomware from spreading. By utilizing containerization, Polaris ensures that even if one part of the system is compromised, the impact is contained, limiting potential damage. Additionally, built-in security features, including access controls, help mitigate vulnerabilities and improve overall cybersecurity hygiene. Ultimately, Polaris offers a manageable and scalable approach to securing digital assets, enhancing incident response capabilities, and strengthening the resilience of enterprise IT infrastructure.
