MISAC Ransomware Prevention

Presented by

Donald E Hester

About this talk

MISAC MuniTech Academy presentation. Local governments are at high risk for ransomware attack, and the Federal Government and government associations recommend immediate action. A recent report from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) states that the cost for recovery tops $5 billion in 2019 year to date. The department of Homeland Security, CISA, MS-ISAC, NGA & NASCIO recommend immediate action to safeguard against ransomware attacks. In order to help clients effectively combat the current growing cyber-threats, we have created a ransomware readiness checklist from the recent US Federal Government Interagency technical guideline, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) guidelines, National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), UK and NIST guidelines. In this session we will cover the items in our checklist and the recommendations on preparation.
