Even when companies take each recommended step to prevent a ransomware attack (such as properly training employees, backing up files, segregating data and limiting network access), a ransomware attack can still sneak through, and without a rapid proper response, cause widespread damage.  This article, the second of a two-part series, addresses how to handle a ransomware attack, when and how to report the incident, and strategies for working with law enforcement.  The first article in the series explained the threat and provided steps that companies can take to prevent ransomware attacks and mitigate the impact if one does occur.  See also “Weil Gotshal Attorneys Advise on Key Ways to Anticipate and Counter Cyber Threats” (May 20, 2015).
