Has this ever happened (or is currently happening) to you? Ransomware just encrypted your data, your active directory is borked, your laptop can't connect to the internet, and the universe is actively screaming in your ear.
The worst has already happened, so don't panic!
Instead, handle the situation with confidence with these four simple steps:
Step One.
Coffee Time.
Take a breath, fuel up, and face the challenge calmly.
Step Two.
Report It.
Inform your legal team, find a breach counsel, and work with experts on communicating more broadly.
Step Three.
Assess and Respond.
Determine the extent of the ransomware's impact on your business and perfectly plan your recovery path.
Step Four.
Time for More Coffee.
Triumph over the attack, and arm yourself for the future. It will likely happen again.
successfully with confidence (and coffee!).
