CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking 
links, especially from unknown senders.
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.

Subject: [SECURITY] Ransomware Playbook

Colleagues:

I am hoping that I can find someone or someplace that has made an effort to develop a Ransomware Response playbook that 
they would not mind sharing. I understand all the preparation that needs to occur prior to an attack but I am looking 
for something that we can provide users, help desk folks, technicians and such on what actions to take if (when) they 
experience a ransomware attack. I have found a few on the web and I was wondering if someone has adapted one of these 
for their institution or have developed one that they think is particularly good.

Feel free to comment here or off-list.
