If you think you've been hit with a cyber attack there are a few immediate steps to help mitigate any possible damage 1. Isolate any machines you believe have malware. Disconnect them from the network and power them down immediately. This can help prevent the spread of malicious software like viruses and ransomware 2. Make sure to report and share information about the possible attack with coworkers and employees so everyone knows what to look for and what to do if they are suspicious. 3. Have a professional work with you to ensure that there is no further damage and as much data is recovered as possible. 4. Learn from each and every attack. Keep notes on what happened, when it happened, how it happened. By learning from attacks you can be better prepared to prevent them in the future.

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your data, holding it at ransom. In many cases an attacker will offer to decrypt your data for a price, but do know, that frequently they will take your money and leave you with encrypted data. The only true way to beat ransomware is regular backups. By backing up your crucial data you can simply wipe infected systems and restore from backup, negating the ransomware completely.
