# Threat Readiness and Response When an organization is targeted by ransomware or cyber extortion, it must quickly determine the extent of the attack, determine the response plan, and mitigate the impact. Our Threat Readiness and Response service helps organizations prepare for, quickly assess, and respond to a ransomware or cyber extortion attack. ### Ransomware Readiness Organizations must regularly test their plans and policies to ensure cyber threat readiness in the event of a cyber extortion, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), or ransomware attack. Flashpoint helps organizations evaluate and test their preparedness in the case of such an event. ### Ransomware Response Ransomware and extortion are responsible for billions of dollars in losses each year across industries. While some high-profile attacks and success stories reach the mainstream, they are a tiny percentage of the true number of incidents and actual payouts made to adversaries. Flashpoint helps teams navigate these incidents, providing tailored responses and recovery of internal systems and extensive monitoring within our expansive illicit community collections. ## We wanted a strategic partner who could acutely understand our security challenges and seamlessly integrate with our team.
