NIST Develops Guidelines For Dealing With Ransomware Recovery
In order to help the firms hit with ransomware attacks, The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, at the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) along with vendors and businesses within the cybersecurity community, teamed up for the sake of developing a recovery guide.
If the reports from the Data Integrity Recovering from Ransomware and Other Destructive Events are to be believed, the goal of the guide, according to the researchers involved, is to aid the organizations that try to recover their data from cybersecurity events, help them in smooth recovery in the event of compromise, and manage enterprise risks.
“ Organizations must be able to quickly recover from a data integrity attack and trust that any recovered data is accurate, complete, and free of malware,” researchers said in the guide. “ Data integrity attacks caused by unauthorized insertion, deletion, or modification of data have compromised corporate information including emails, employee records, financial records, and customer data.”
For the convenience of the targeted readers, the guide is segmented into three volumes which can be used in various ways depending on the user' s role within their organization be it business decision makers, technology and program managers, or IT professionals.
The guide also offers how to restore data to its last known good configuration and how to identify correct backup versions as well as poisoned, or altered data, and how to determine identify who altered said data. Advice on how to tackle ransomware attacks is also given in the guide.
