Reduce common entry opportunities
Maintain updates, limit privileged access, review remote access and teach staff to report suspicious activity. These practices reduce some risks; no control guarantees immunity.
Protect recovery options
Use appropriately isolated backups and test restoration. Define recovery owners and business priorities. Keep recovery access and procedures available during a disruption.
Follow an approved response process
Use established incident contacts, preserve evidence and involve appropriate specialists. Do not make uncontrolled changes or assume payment guarantees recovery. The website is not an emergency channel.
