Ransomware Defense Strategies

Ransomware attacks have evolved into one of the most devastating cyber threats. A comprehensive defense strategy is essential for prevention and recovery.

Understanding Ransomware

Ransomware encrypts files or systems and demands payment for decryption keys. Modern variants often include data exfiltration for double extortion.

Prevention Measures

• Keep all systems patched
• Implement endpoint detection and response (EDR)
• Use application whitelisting
• Segment networks
• Disable unnecessary services
• Security awareness training

The 3-2-1 Backup Rule

1. 3 copies of your data
2. 2 different storage media types
3. 1 offsite or air-gapped backup

Incident Response

If attacked: isolate systems, preserve evidence, report to law enforcement, restore from backups, and conduct post-incident review.
