This is no surprise: cyber extortion is a highly lucrative enterprise for cybercriminals.

Every organisation needs a strategy for preventing and responding to ransomware and cyber extortion.

The LMNTRIX ransomware protection, containment and recovery guide provides practical tools for people at all levels of an organisation to understand and manage the risk posed by ransomware and cyber extortion.

This guide will provide practical zero cost endpoint security controls and enforcement measures which can limit the capability for a ransomware or malware variant to impact a large scope of systems within an environment. If there is an active outbreak, depending upon the propagation method that the variant is leveraging, implementing many of the recommendations within this document can potentially disrupt and contain the event.
