Re: Ransomware Playbook

[Jonathon Poling <jonathon.poling () GMAIL COM>]

A ransomware playbook, especially a prescriptive one, is going to be HIGHLY
specific to your environment and PPT (People, Process, Tooling) and thus
will require substantial (and unique) development and refinement for your
specific organization. There's a reason so many org's (and entire
counties/systems) fall victim to just paying the ransom, even when it's an
inordinate amount of money. There is a lot to it, completely aside from
properly testing and restoring backups. I only say this all because I've
built a lot of specific playbooks running the gamut for a lot of clients in
a variety of verticals over the years. This is definitely one of our most
involved playbooks we help people build, as it involves a lot of
non-technical preparation that is not readily apparent unless you've gone
through it.

This is one of those things you don't want to skimp on or necessarily even
copy from what others are doing, as a lot of org's aren't building the
comprehensive set of processes and procedures needed for properly
protecting against, operating amidst, and recovering from such attacks.

At any rate, just sharing my experience and hopefully some (useful) food
for thought, whichever route you end up going.
