Chris Reffkin, Chief Security & Risk Officer at Fortra, authored an article for Manufacturing.net that outlines how technology and security leaders should react in the critical early moments of a ransomware attack. He explains why containment must remain the top priority, how leaders should communicate clearly and quickly with executives, and how to assess the impact with support from legal and incident response teams.
