Ransomware Protection: A Practical Playbook

PNPriya Nair· VP, Security & Compliance May 8, 2026 7 min read

Ransomware remains one of the most damaging threats to businesses. Defending against it takes layers — prevention, detection, and a recovery plan that assumes the worst.

The layered defence

  • MFA and least privilege to limit access
  • Patching to close the vulnerabilities attackers exploit
  • Email and endpoint protection to block delivery
  • Immutable, offline backups to recover without paying
  • A tested incident response plan
The best ransomware defence is a restore you've tested — so paying is never the only option.

We build ransomware-resilient defences and recovery plans for businesses of every size.
