A Different Approach to Ransomware
Most cybersecurity books tell you how to prevent ransomware. We assume you will likely get it.
Learning Ransomware Response & Recovery takes a radically practical approach: assume breach and prepare for recovery. While prevention matters, the reality facing CISOs, IT leaders, and backup administrators today is that ransomware attackers are sophisticated, well-funded, and increasingly successful. The question isn’t whether you’ll face an attack; it’s whether you’ll recover from one.
That’s our difference.
This book brings together two complementary perspectives that are rarely combined in cybersecurity literature: backup and recovery engineering (W. Curtis Preston) and incident response (Dr. Mike Saylor). Together, we walk you through the complete ransomware lifecycle, including the critical decisions, technical procedures, and organizational coordination required to restore your operations.
You’ll find no theoretical frameworks here. No prevention-only strategies that leave you stranded when defenses fail. Instead, we provide actionable, tested approaches for:
- Developing and Coordinating incident response across technical and business teams
- Building immutable backup architectures that ransomware can’t delete or encrypt
- Executing recovery operations under crisis conditions
- Testing your recovery capabilities before you need them
Ransomware happens. Recovery is a choice.
This book gives you the knowledge to make that choice confidently—before the attack comes.
