The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response
The initial response to a ransomware attack is crucial for determining the damage in terms of downtime, costs, data loss and company reputation. The sooner you detect the activity associated with ransomware, the sooner you can slow its spread. From there, you can take remedial actions to significantly reduce the effects of the attack.
In this blog, we’ll outline key steps organizations should take during the first 48 hours after a ransomware infection is detected. We’ll link to a recent Progress Flowmon webinar on the topic that also discusses how national recommendations and regulatory frameworks, such as NIST and NIS2, provide guidance on cyber responses. The webinar outlines how Flowmon solutions can help with early detection and response to ransomware attacks.
