New features focus on ransomware, third-parties, and more.

The eRisk Hub cyber portal is getting a major update for 2021!

If you’re a CSD Pool member, you have free access to one of the most comprehensive tools to help you understand, navigate, and prepare for your cybersecurity.

No organization is immune to the risk of ransomware attacks.

That’s why Ransomware Resources have been added to the eRiskHub® portal, a new section chock full of ransomware-focused content, including ransomware tools, interviews with ransomware experts, best-practices downloads, and recommended ransomware security solutions.

Here’s just a sampling of the new ransomware resources you will see when you log in to the eRiskHub:

12-Point Ransomware Mitigation Self-Assessment

Ransomware presents Small-to-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with dire consequences. This 12-point interactive survey is designed to offer key tasks that SME management (and IT administrators) should consider to reduce exposure to ransomware and other exploit threats. A graphical scorecard is provided upon completion.

Ransomware Stress Test

This no-cost self-assessment tool helps you gauge aspects of your security that a scan can’t read (MFA, backup strategy, insurance, etc.) but have great impact on the frequency and severity of ransomware incidents.

Based on your result, you will receive a prioritized list of recommended remediation actions, along with access to a knowledge base that provides more context.

Interviews with Ransomware Experts

Forensic, remediation, and regulatory experts who have handled hundreds of ransomware events share their experience and insights in video and written interviews. Topics include:

• Life Cycle of a Ransomware Attack (video)
• RDP Exploits – A Cyber Criminal’s Favorite Attack Pathway (video)
• Cyber Risks During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Suggested Third-Party Solutions

A select few additions to your ransomware defenses can make a world of difference in how well you are protected and how prepared you are to respond. Included are some suggestions in Ransomware Resources.

Educational Videos – What You Need to Know (Training Page)

Discover interviews with industry experts about cybersecurity and privacy basics that your policyholders need to know. Example topics include phishing, remote working, patch management, and social media.

The first batch of these educational videos is now available in your portal (accessed from the Training page). We’ll be adding new interviews regularly, so please check back often.
