there are tons of "consultants" that will offer to come in and get you prepared for these types of attacks. the decent ones will be expensive and you will have to be willing to impliment a good bit of process and/or technology changes.




I’m more concerned about being able to recover quickly. We are a small shop so I don’t think it makes sense to overdue it on the prevention but being prepared to recover imho would be more important.

And this right here is why ransomware continues to proliferate.

You need solid backups and images of your computers. That's an easy way to do it.

I agree. Have regular backups and have the backups done by systems that cannot be affected by the ransomware, so not Windows. I have been involved in the recover efforts of a huge environment of physical and virtual servers and all was done by restoring the servers.
