Building a ransomware decision tree before the call comes in

A video from Arctic Wolf's VP of Incident Response outlines a ransomware decision framework covering containment, extortion negotiation, and related critical decisions that organizations should plan in advance. The framework emphasizes pre-deciding who has authority to take specific actions, such as disconnecting systems or engaging with attackers, before an incident occurs.

Why it matters: Security and incident response teams need a documented decision tree now to avoid delays and confusion during an active ransomware attack, when containment speed and negotiation authority directly affect ransom cost and operational recovery time.
