CISA Releases Guidance for Ransomware Defense & Response


Officials recommendations include having encrypted backups and creating an incident response plan.



After several months of disruptive and headline-making ransomware attacks on large businesses in the United States, the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a list of recommendations for preventing and responding to these kinds of incidents.
The fact sheet, titled
Protecting Sensitive and Personal Information from Ransomware-Caused Data Breaches,
includes several suggestions such as maintaining offline, encrypted backups and implementing a basic incident response and communications plan. The document also urges readers not to pay a ransom if hit with an attack.
CISA strongly discourages paying a ransom to criminal actors, the sheet reads. Paying a ransom may embolden adversaries to target additional organizations, encourage other criminal actors to engage in the distribution of ransomware, and/or may fund illicit activities. Paying the ransom also does not guarantee that a victim’s files will be recovered.
