Ransomware Protection Strategies

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has posted a page on ransomware protection strategies, in which it notes it has observed an increase in ransomware attacks across the nation. It adds that one of its chief priorities is to help organizations protect themselves from ransomware, and in support of this mandate it encourages its partners to review a series of resources to help prevent, mitigate, and recover from these attacks. These include two CISA products (CISA Insights: Ransomware Outbreaks and its own resource page on ransomware) and a recent FireEye blog and report on ransomware protection and containment strategies. CISA also encourages victims of ransomware to immediately report these incidents to its NCCIC, a local FBI Field Office, or a Secret Service Field Office.
