CyberCX releases updated ransomware & cyber extortion guidance>
Security Brief – New Zealand – Sean Mitchell
CyberCX, a cybersecurity specialist based in New Zealand, has released an updated version of its Ransomware and Cyber Extortion Best Practice Guide.
The guide aims to provide organizations with actionable recommendations to prevent, tackle, and recover from cyber extortion attacks effectively.
It analyzes the evolving cyber threat landscape, highlighting the increasing impact and frequency of these attacks.
The guide emphasizes that no organization is immune to the risk of cyber extortion and that threat actors are constantly innovating with new strategies to maximize harm and pressure victims into compliance.
The release of the guide coincides with the Counter Ransomware Initiative summit, emphasizing the urgency of addressing these threats.
The guide was developed based on customer demands and aims to assist both technical and executive teams in devising strategies to counteract these ever-evolving dangers.
CyberCX’s Chief Strategy Officer, Alastair MacGibbon, highlights the need to provide executives and professionals with the tools and knowledge to make critical decisions in the face of an increasingly challenging and complex threat environment.
MacGibbon emphasizes that cyber incidents are no longer just IT matters, as criminals now employ “harm maximization” tactics.
This paradigm shift has created a demand for crisis management and strategic advisory services, including crisis communications, to complement technical response capabilities.
The guide draws on the experience of CyberCX’s incident response and intelligence teams to assist organizations in navigating and mitigating these malicious attacks.
