Test How Well Your Organization Can Defend And Recover From A Ransomware Attack

The Ransomware Readiness Assessment (RRA) is a new module in CISA's Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET) that The United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are offering for free, that allows organisations to test how well equipped they can defend and recover from a ransomware attack.

The benefit for an Organization are:

  • Helps organizations evaluate their cybersecurity posture, with respect to ransomware, against recognized standards and best practice recommendations in a systematic, disciplined, and repeatable manner. 
  • Guides asset owners and operators through a systematic process to evaluate their operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) network security practices against the ransomware threat. 
  • Provides an analysis dashboard with graphs and tables that present the assessment results in both summary and detailed form.
