If you’ve been hit by ransomware, there are a few key steps you should follow:

Contain and Neutralize

The first step with any sort of ransomware attack is to determine if the attack is still happening and to react as quickly as possible. If you don’t have a solution in place to stop the attack, then you’ll need to isolate where the attack is. Unplug the network cable or turn off the WiFi for the network segments that are affected and consider shutting down devices if you’re unable to do so.

At this point you should inform your teams of what has happened (do so offline in the event your communication is at risk) and assess the damage. Figure out what systems have been affected and if there is any loss. You’ll want to get your IT team working immediately to get a comprehensive understanding of what has been breached.
