Serving as an Incident Response and Recovery Coordinator, I have helped many businesses who were victimized by Ransomware attacks and did not have an incident response plan.

Why should you have a plan: Because they had no plan, and their IT team began re-imaging the computers right away. In the process, they destroyed a lot of evidence. When this happens we'll probably never know exactly how the attack started. Ransomware is a top cyber risk for everyone. You need a response plan that senior decision-makers trust.

What should your next steps be: If you don't have a plan, make one. If you do have a plan, test it.

What you should do if you dont have a plan: Don't create a plan from scratch. Find a template.

How to do it: Start by Google searching for "ransomware playbook" and pick one to be your template. Spend a couple of hours studying the template and customize it for your organization. Finally, get two hours with a handful of likely responders and update the playbook together.

Becoming a low-profile target by practicing great Cyber Hygiene is one of the FOUR major goals of a Cyber Risk Management Program!

What are the other three???

2. Being resilient to cyber-attacks and cyber failures
3. Being compliant with applicable laws and regulations

The internet was not built to ensure the privacy of communications...

It was really built to make sure that a message got through, and we've been living with the consequences ever since.

This is why criminals are using business email compromise to steal billions of dollars because we don't have an easy way to know if an email is authentic.

So what can we do?!

Get your whole team involved in practicing some basic Cyber Hygiene.
