The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released a Ransomware Readiness Assessment audit tool to help organizations size up their ability to defend against and recover from attacks.
The tool expands the agency's broader Cyber Security Evaluation Tool, which guides network defenders through the process of evaluating their security practices. That platform enables users to perform a comprehensive evaluation of their cybersecurity posture using government and industry standards and recommendations.
The new Ransomware Readiness Assessment is based on a tiered set of practices to help organizations gauge whether they are equipped to defend and recover from a ransomware incident. It's designed for use by organizations at all levels of cybersecurity maturity, the agency says.
