    Hi All,

    NIST just released Ransomware Risk Management: A Cybersecurity Framework Profile (NISTIR 8374) that incorporates feedback from earlier drafts and is based on the broader Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1. It can be used as a guide to managing the risk of ransomware events-which includes helping to gauge an organization's level of readiness to counter ransomware threats and to deal with the potential consequences of events.

    NIST has also developed a companion quick start guide called 'Getting Started with Cybersecurity Risk Management: Ransomware' designed for organizations-including those with limited resources to address cybersecurity challenges-to easily understand the advice given in the Profile and to get guidance on what they can begin implementing today. It's important to recognize that you don't need to do everything all at once…getting started is the key!
