Ransomware recovery requires more than restoring files—it demands coordination between IT and security with clean, validated data. This white paper outlines essential steps for building ransomware recovery readiness, including protecting the backup environment, detecting anomalies, and collaborating on recovery workflows. It explains why backups are frequently targeted and how air-gapped, immutable storage reduces risk. The paper maps recovery actions to NIST cybersecurity functions and highlights common readiness gaps that delay recovery. Practical guidance is provided for identifying clean restore points, testing in isolated environments, and minimizing data loss. The result is a structured approach to achieving faster, safer recovery after ransomware incidents.
