Ransomware readiness: what to do before it happens
A short checklist: backups, access controls, monitoring, and an incident plan that a real team can execute.
Ransomware readiness
You don’t need panic—you need a plan.
The essentials
- MFA everywhere (especially admin accounts)
- Backups with immutability + restore tests
- Least privilege (no permanent local admin)
- Endpoint protection + patching cadence
Write a 1‑page incident plan
Include:
- Who decides to isolate systems
- Who contacts vendors/insurance
- Where “golden” credentials are stored
- How you communicate internally
