Building Cyber Resilience Against Ransomware Attacks

This blog post examines rising ransomware impacts and regulatory pressures, debunks common misconceptions revealed through a fictional incident scenario, and presents a practical resilience framework across Respond, Sustain, and Recover. It recommends establishing trained IR teams and clear playbooks, testing secure backups and DR/BCP, using secure crisis communications, continuous monitoring and tabletop/red-team exercises, and aligning with frameworks like NIST/SANS and regulations such as NIS2 and the CRA to reduce impact and accelerate recovery.
