Ransomware Prevention

Are you exposed to Ransomware? We use NIST Ransomware guidance in order to minimize your exposure.

​

• Do you have an antivirus software at all times?

• Are you keeping all computers fully patched with security updates?

• Are you blocking access to known ransomware sites on the internet?

​

Do you have a disaster recovery plan? NIST recommends that organizations follow these steps to accelerate their recovery:

​

• Develop and implement an incident recovery plan with defined roles and strategies for decision making.

• Carefully plan, implement and test a data backup and restoration strategy. It’s important not only to have secure backups of all your important data, but also to make sure that backups are kept isolated so ransomware can’t readily spread to them.

• Maintain an up-to-date list of internal and external contacts for ransomware attacks, including law enforcement.
