Nation. Helping organizations protect themselves from ransomware is a chief priority for CISA. Organizations are 
encouraged to review the following resources to help prevent, mitigate, and recover against ransomware:

Victims of ransomware should report it immediately to CISA [ https://www.us-cert.govwww.us-cert.gov/report ], a local 
FBI Field Office [ https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/field-offices ], or a Secret Service Field Office [
