The First Hour of a Ransomware Attack: What to Do and What Not to Touch

There is no single right "first call" after ransomware. What you need is a plan everyone agreed on ahead of time: start it, isolate the systems that were hit without wiping them, and have your technical, legal, insurance, leadership, and communications people working together at the same time. In this video, we walk through the first hours of a ransomware response: who needs to be in the room, why containment is different from cleanup, how to preserve evidence you'll need for recovery and legal obligations, and the statements you should never make before the investigation supports them. The first hours don't require perfect knowledge. They require disciplined uncertainty. Is your incident response plan only on the network that's about to go down?
