The good news is in the latter attack the victims restored its backups. The FBI provided the following mitigations to protect against ransomware attacks: Regularly back up data, air gap, and password protect backup copies offline. Install updates/patch operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as they are released.
The report also includes a list of mitigation measures to increase the resilience of company networks: Implement a recovery plan to maintain and retain multiple copies of sensitive or proprietary data and servers in a physically separate, segmented, and secure location (i.e., Regularly back up data, password protect backup copies offline.
Automate Patches and Updates Ensure strong network security by automating regular updates of firewall firmware and installing security patches as soon as they become available. Enable automatic updates in the administration interface and schedule security checks accordingly.
But the sector is only as secure as the technology it relies on, so our food supply requires secure IoT devices and Cloud services for food and agriculture too. The FBI notice includes the following recommendations: Regularly back up data, air gap, and password protect backup copies offline. Implement network segmentation.
To mitigate this security challenge, businesses must educate their employees on the basics of cybersecurity and include cybersecurity policies in the onboarding process of every new employee.

Below is a list of recommended mitigations from the FBI, which it issued along with an alert on Conti ransomware late last week: Regularly back up data, air gap, and password protect backup copies offline. Install updates/patch operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as they are released. Implement network segmentation.
Invest in the most impactful measures today and build toward a mature cybersecurity plan tomorrow by: Implementing the highest-priority security controls first: e.g., multifactor authentication (MFA), patch management, data backups, content filtering, etc. Review the security posture of all third-party vendors.
