What Should a Business Do After a Ransomware Attack?

Answers: What should a business do after a ransomware attack

First hours

  • Disconnect or isolate impacted devices from the network
  • Disable compromised accounts and reset privileged credentials
  • Preserve logs and avoid wiping systems needed for forensics
  • Notify leadership, legal counsel, and your insurance carrier per policy

Recovery and prevention

Restore from clean backups after scope is understood. Post-incident reviews should address MFA gaps, backup immutability, and email filtering failures.
