The containment paradox: Why your ransomware playbook has the wrong people in charge
I have sat in on a version of the same incident post-mortem in three sectors over the past two years. The script does not vary much.
AI Summary
The current approach to containing ransomware attacks may be flawed due to the individuals in charge of responding to these incidents. The typical response involves isolating the affected systems, as dictated by the playbook. However, this action may not be effective in preventing the spread of the malware. The containment process often relies on the on-duty SOC analyst, who may not have the necessary expertise to make informed decisions about how to handle the situation.
