Participant’s Handbook Ransomware Tabletop Exercise

Ransomware is an emerging threat to a variety of industries and is characterized by The National Institute of Standards and Technology as a type of malware that attempts to deny access to a user’s data usually by encrypting it with a key known only to the hacker who deployed the attack until a ransom is paid. The purpose of this tabletop exercise is to test your organization’s preparedness to respond to a ransomware incident in a no-fault environment and to develop a better understanding of how incident response works.
