This is not the complete story…

This series is about 8000 words – not even the length of one of the end of module projects I had to write for my Masters degree – so it is not the whole story when it comes to dealing with ransomware. However it is meant to get you thinking and including several tips that if you do nothing else but implement them, you will be in a better position to deal with many types of cyber incidents, including ransomware.

One more thing…

Here is part 11.
