The New Zealand Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT NZ) has released a guide on ransomware protection for businesses. The guide includes a pair of helpful diagrams that outline different ransomware attack pathways and illustrate where relevant security controls can work to protect or stop an attack. WaterISAC joins the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in encouraging users, administrators, and business leaders to review the guide for more information as well as recommended prevention and mitigation measures. CISA also reminds its partners of other ransomware prevention and mitigation resources, including the StopRansomware initiative and the CISA and MS-ISAC Ransomware Guide.
