Cybersecurity Breach? Here’s What to do.

“Hacked”, “Breach”, “Cyberattack” “Held for Ransom”, what ever you want to call it, here’s what to do.

There’s a ton of statistics showing that shorter the incident lifecycle, the less costly it’ll be. A quick response can make all the difference.

Here are steps to consider taking:

• Contain the Infection: disconnect systems from the internet and/or company network. Change credentials.

• Change Credentials: On a different computer, that you do not suspect is infected, change credentials to accounts.

• PRESERVE EVIDENCE. Do not unplug or turn off systems. Do not delete anything. This is for legal and security reasons.

• Inform leadership & Stakeholders. Leadership should communicate procedures and set expectations.

• Contact your Cyber Insurance Provider, if you have one.

• Get professional help. We can investigate and document, contain and eliminate the compromise. They can prevent the response from being a game of “whack-a-mole”.
