Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organization’s data and demand payment to restore access. This Ransomware Profile identifies the Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1 security objectives that support identifying, protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from ransomware events. The profile can be used as a guide to managing the risk of ransomware events. That includes helping to gauge an organization’s level of readiness to counter ransomware threats and to deal with the potential consequences of events.

The Framework is organized by five key functions—identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. These five terms provide a comprehensive way to view the lifecycle for managing cybersecurity risk. The activities listed under each function offer a good starting point for any organization, including those with limited resources to address cybersecurity challenges. They help to set priorities so that an organization gets the greatest value out of its efforts to manage ransomware risks.

This report evaluates the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) progress in implementing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (CSF). The CSF provides guidelines for organizations to evaluate and improve an agency’s cybersecurity posture. This approach requires management to consider cybersecurity risks as part of the organization’s overall risk management assessment, specifically with a focus on an agency’s cybersecurity risk.

Cybersecurity experts agree: No one security measure is foolproof to defend against attacks. Ransomware is a new threat. It comes from nowhere and can potentially lock you out of your data and applications until a ransom is paid, making it difficult to recover. These cybercriminals are extremely skilled and motivated. They want to access as much confidential personal information as possible. Security specialists recommend using every tool at your disposal, including draconian measures like backups, encrypting data files, redacting sensitive information on your devices and firewalls.
