Topic 1 of 3
Question 1
Are PCs and laptops updated regularly (e.g. are updates installed promptly)?
Note: “Don’t know” is an honest answer and helps identify potential weaknesses.
A real ransomware incident
A brief insight into why tested backups and clearly defined responsibilities are critical and how a self-assessment helps uncover common security gaps.
A brief explanation of the general sequence of events of the incident
- 1Phone call
“Help, we have been hacked. The attackers are demanding money and have set a deadline.”
- 2Findings
Ransomware encrypted multiple PCs and systems. Without the decryption key, accessing the data was not possible.
- 3Problem
There is no current backup available. Paying the ransom is not an option for the caller. Important data has been lost.
- 4Aftermath
Following a suspected leak, possibly used by attackers to increase pressure, a tax audit was announced. Required documents could not be fully submitted.
Everything was encrypted by ransomware, leaving no technical recovery option due to the lack of backups
No access to business and tax data
Paying the ransom was not an option, and business operations came to a standstill
Without tested backups, the options are often ransom payment or data loss. The self-check helps identify these gaps early
Track backup status & responsibilities
Schedule restore testing as a mandatory step
Clarify escalation and reporting channels
