The journey to ransomware readiness requires maintaining staff security skillsets and employee awareness, plus regularly updating network (virtual, physical, or cloud) defenses and processes. Turnover in staff and employees, network dynamics, and changes in ransomware tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) all contribute to a change in the state of an organization’s readiness to withstand a ransomware attack. If your organization lacks the needed skillset, opt for a managed service to protect the network and endpoints.
Ongoing training and proactive measures, including regularly updated ransomware assessments, playbooks, and tabletop exercises, help in several ways. You can understand your state of readiness, identify and address specific gaps, and update your readiness to withstand ransomware attacks. These measures, for ransomware and overall threat readiness, are an important part of good cyber hygiene.
