Ransomware attackers are shifting tactics and hypervisors are now in their crosshairs.

In this episode, we uncover why virtualization platforms like ESXi and Hyper-V have become prime targets for modern ransomware operations. A single compromise at the hypervisor level can give attackers control over dozens or even hundreds of virtual machines, bypassing traditional endpoint defenses entirely.

We break down real-world attack techniques, how threat actors move laterally to hypervisors, and why limited visibility at this layer makes detection so difficult. You’ll also hear practical security strategies, from access control and segmentation to patching, monitoring, and immutable backups, that can help reduce risk and improve recovery.

Whether you manage virtual infrastructure or make security decisions for your organization, this episode explains why hypervisor security can no longer be an afterthought.
