Phishing Attack:
Employees receive emails that appear to be from a trusted source. These emails often contain malicious attachments or links that, when clicked, can introduce malware to the system or lead to credential theft.
Instruct employees to avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unexpected or suspicious emails.
If someone believes they've been compromised, they should immediately change their passwords and report the incident to IT or management.
Make use of email filtering solutions to block known malicious email addresses and content.
Conduct regular training sessions for employees to recognize and respond to phishing attempts.
Ransomware Attack:
A user inadvertently downloads malicious software that encrypts the company's files. The attacker then demands a ransom to unlock these files.
Isolate affected systems from the network to prevent the spread of the ransomware.
Do not pay the ransom. There's no guarantee that files will be restored, and it encourages criminal activity.
Restore files from the most recent backup. This underscores the importance of regularly backing up data and ensuring backups are not connected to the main network.
Implement strong endpoint protection software and keep all systems patched and up-to-date.
Educate employees about the risks of downloading unfamiliar software or opening attachments from unknown sources.
Unauthorized Access / Data Breach:
An attacker gains access to company systems and potentially steals sensitive data.
Isolate and contain the breach. Identify how the attacker gained access and seal that entry point.
Conduct a thorough analysis to understand the scope of the breach: What data was accessed? Was it copied or modified? This might require a cybersecurity expert or firm.
Notify affected stakeholders: Depending on the nature of the breach, this could be customers, business partners, and legal or regulatory bodies.
Change passwords and credentials that may have been compromised.Enhance network security by implementing multi-factor authentication, updating and patching software, and increasing network monitoring.
Develop an incident response plan in advance so that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities in case of a breach.
