On May 23, 2023, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a second edition of the #StopRansomware Guide (the Guide). The Guide, first published in September 2020, aims to help organizations reduce the risk of ransomware attacks, and it provides best practices to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from such incidents. The 2023 version contains updated guidance and best practices in the areas of initial infection vectors, cloud backups, zero trust architecture and ransomware response.
