Ransomware resilience, playbooks, and BCDR alignment
People search for ransomware, tabletop exercises, IR retainer, and how backup and EDR are one program. Practical guidance for U.S. and Canada IT.
A single program
Hot content connects detection, response, and recovery. SEO surfaces questions about legal hold, logging, and the moment to call counsel versus restore from backup.
Frequently asked questions
Should we pay a ransom if we have backups?
That is a legal, operational, and ethical decision, not a pure IT call. A tabletop exercise and counsel guidance before an event defines who decides and what the criteria are, without panic pricing.
What is a realistic recovery time objective to plan for at the table?
It depends on data size, identity dependencies, and clean room restore paths. The exercise should surface the true limiter—often AD and app dependencies rather than raw restore speed of files.
