Dejan Kosutic interviews Yannick Hirt from ODCUS about his experience with a real ransomware attack on an international industrial company. They discuss likely phishing entry via a privileged IT account, overnight encryption, and setting up a war room. The company restored critical systems from verified cloud backups without paying, while briefly negotiating via a Dutch specialist as the attacker threatened data release. Key lessons include tested backups, detection and provider SLAs, privileged access controls, BIA/process mapping, strong documentation and forensics, communications, insurance coordination, and regular training.
