TrustedSec has published the first blog in what it says will become a three-part series on responding to a ransomware incident. Part one provides an introduction into what ransomware is, how it works, and how it spreads to systems within an organization. It also describes different types of ransomware and variations of ransomware tactics. While part two in this series will go more into the attack kill chain, this first segment provides an overview of the sequence of events that occur during infection. Part two will also discuss more of the ways to detect, protect, and prevent ransomware. And part three will identify ransomware variants and sites used for identification. It will also touch on the various recovery options and address the big question – should you pay the ransom? Read more at TrustedSec.
