[LIBRARYDIR] Ransomware plan?

[Susan Schreiner]

Kind of my thought too. Other than listing all service providers and having these contacts and their information maintained in an off-campus computer, and maybe doing backups that are stored off the main system, what else can we be doing for this scenario?

Hi all,

I hope your spring quarter is wrapping up well for you and your students!

Does your library have a plan for what to do if there is a ransomware attack? Our IT department has told everyone to make a plan, and I thought I would start with this group. Thanks in advance for your help, and if it's easier to talk than write, I would be happy to set up a call! Take care, Claire
