The Blueprint for Ransomware is a clear, actionable framework for ransomware mitigation, response, and recovery for small and medium enterprises that are most relevant to combating ransomware.  The Blueprint recommendations are a curated subset of essential cyber hygiene Safeguards from the Center for Internet Security Critical Security Controls® (CIS Controls®) v8. These Safeguards represent a minimum standard of information security for all enterprises and are what should be applied to defend against the most common attacks. This Blueprint for Ransomware Defense represents a set of Foundational and Actionable Safeguards, aimed at small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
