This report<br>contains a Ransomware Profile which provides guidance on helping organizations prevent,<br>respond to, and recover from ransomware events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of the Ransomware Profile &#8220;is to help organizations identify and prioritize<br>opportunities for improving their security and resilience against ransomware attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The profile suggests the following &#8220;basic preventative steps that an organization can take<br>now to protect against the ransomware threat&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Use antivirus software at all times.<br>\u2022 Keep computers fully patched.<br>\u2022 Segment networks.<br>\u2022 Continuously monitor directory services (and other primary user stores) for<br>indicators of compromise or active attack.<br>\u2022 Block access to potentially malicious web resources.<br>\u2022 Allow only authorized apps.<br>\u2022 Use standard user accounts versus accounts with administrative privileges<br>whenever possible.<br>\u2022 Restrict personally owned devices on work networks.<br>\u2022 Avoid using personal apps from work computers.<br>\u2022 Educate employees about social engineering.<br>\u2022 Assign and manage credential authorization for all enterprise assets and<br>software, and periodically verify that each account has the appropriate access<br>only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To help recover from a future ransomware event, the following steps are recommended:<br><br>\u2022 Make an incident recovery plan. Develop and implement an incident recovery<br>plan with defined roles and strategies for decision making. This can be part<br>of a continuity of operations plan. The plan should identify business-critical<br>services to enable recovery prioritization, and business continuity plans for<br>those critical services.<br>\u2022 Backup data, secure backups, and test restoration. Carefully plan,<br>implement, and test a data backup and restoration strategy\u2014and secure and<br>isolate backups of important data.<br>\u2022 Keep your contacts. Maintain an up-to-date list of internal and external<br>contacts for ransomware attacks, including law enforcement.<br><br>The bulk of the report consists of a Ransomware Profile table which provides detailed<br>guidance and informative references to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1. The<br>main categories are the five Cybersecurity Framework Functions:<br><br>\u2022 Identify<br>\u2022 Protect<br>\u2022 Detect<br>\u2022 Respond<br>\u2022 Recover<br><br>For purposes of this article, we are focusing on the Recover function. The sub-categories<br>for the Recover function include:<br><br>\u2022 Recovery Planning &#8211; Recovery processes and procedures are executed and<br>maintained to ensure restoration of systems or assets affected by<br>cybersecurity incidents.<br>\u2022 Improvements &#8211; Recovery planning and processes are improved by<br>incorporating lessons learned into future activities.<br>\u2022 Communications &#8211; Restoration activities are coordinated with internal and<br>external parties (e.g., coordinating centers, Internet Service Providers,<br>owners of attacking systems, victims, other CSIRTs, and vendors).<br><br>The report also contains multiple helpful references and resources, including NIST SP 800-<br>184, Guide for Cybersecurity Event Recovery.<br><br>Ransomware risk management is essential for every organization. Cybersecurity<br>Framework Profile for Ransomware Risk Management provides extremely helpful guidance<br>to prevent, respond to, and recover from ransomware events.<br><br>*https:\/\/doi.org\/10.6028\/NIST.IR.8374-draft<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RansomewareRecovery-edited-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17637\" width=\"-70\" height=\"-39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RansomewareRecovery-edited-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.swimage.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RansomewareRecovery-edited-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Swimage Rapid Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swimage Rapid Recovery fits into the NIST Ransomware Profile as a vital<br>component of the Recover function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installation of our Ransomware Recovery solution is a fundamental part of the recovery planning<br>process. Our software performs incremental backups and stores them in a secured<br>location. Upon the occurrence of a ransomware event, the systems are automatically rebuilt from<br>the ground up, from a known good source. This includes the operating system and<br>applications. Then user data, profiles, and settings are restored from the secure backup<br>location. This is all completed in about an hour and multiple systems may be rebuilt at the same<br>time.<br><br>Please visit Swimage.com\/RansomwareRecovery for more information, including a short video.<br><br>We are offering existing customers a special discount for Swimage Rapid Recovery.
