Software defined networking, an approach that allows network administrators to programmatically initialise, control, change and manage network behaviour dynamically via open interfaces, was also mooted as solution.
The network server uses a provided network map to allocate processor names and initialise drivers for hardware devices at specific nodes in the network.
The server is used to control all of the infected victims with a targeted vulnerability exploit that can initialise the decryption process without the bad actor's knowledge.
Shipments can be traced through the delivery process, allowing manufacturers to initialise computer installation processes during transit, which will speed up implementations.
