5 Steps To Prevent And Respond To Ransomware
Attacks

• Ransomware attacks are a threat to businesses of
  all sizes, from large corporations to small
  businesses. Ransomware is a formidable opponent
  because it can often defeat its targets. The best
  defense against this kind of attack is to not
  only work to prevent it from succeeding but also
  have plans for recovering if it does succeed in
  encrypting your data.

2
Identify

• Start by doing a thorough evaluation of your
  assets, systems, data, people and capabilities.
  Your risk tolerance will vary depending on the
  organization you are working for, so consider
  risks to your organization and the specific
  impacts of different systems being rendered
  inoperable. Consider any regulations such as PCI
  DSS that apply to your situation.

3
Protect

• Create safeguards to prevent a cybersecurity
  incident that could impact critical services,
  business processes and your business itself.
  These safeguards should address all ways in which
  your business operates and be proportionate to
  the risks of possible incidents.

4
Detect And Continually Improve

• In order to maximize your visibility and
  protection and minimize risk, continue to refine
  your security program through the development of
  a continual improvement plan. Review all of your
  alarms and monitors, confirm your responses are
  appropriate and adjust processes as necessary.

Respond

• You should develop and practice an incident
  response program, including procedures for
  dealing with ransomware. You need to be prepared
  so that you can contain the damage as much as
  possible.

Recover

• To avoid costly downtime, build a cyber
  resilience program. This includes a back-up and
  restoration strategy for restoring core
  functionality and protecting not just data stored
  on-premises but in different cloud and SaaS
  providers.
