Episode 32 - What it's like to be in a Ransomware Attack
Show Notes

In this episode I speak with Josh Geno about what it's like to be in a ransomware attack.  Josh is one of the Lead Security Engineers for Spectrum Health.  Josh has had the distinction of being in a ransomware attack as well as having to 'clean up' after one.  Josh has created a Ransomware Playbook that is open for use by anyone and is geared to sharing knowledge/lessons learned.

Talking Points:

  • Walk Through The Incident 
    • Prepare 
    • Detect 
    • Triage/Prioritize 
    • Analyze 
    • Contain/Eradicate/Recover 
    • Post-Incident 
  • How would you use these documents in your organization?
  • Can be used as Net New or Augmenting (GAP Analysis) 
    • A scenario were Company A was already affected and didn't know it 
  • Read the instructions first 
    • Flowchart will make 1000% more sense if you read the instructions
