Ransomware: Penetration Testing and Contingency Planning

Ransomware is a threat variant that has existed for a very long  time, contrary to popular belief. Today, ransomware attacks have become  much more covert and stealthier than when they first came out. In this  book, the author provides an overview of ransomware and the timeline of  its evolution.

The author also discusses famous  ransomware attacks that have occurred, with a special focus on  SolarWinds and critical infrastructure before taking a deep dive into  penetration testing and how it can be used to mitigate the risks of a  ransomware attack from happening. The author also covers incident  response, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. We even  look at an appropriate data backup plan as well.
