On October 28, Xiangzhou County organized a cybersecurity emergency drill training session aimed at enhancing the county's comprehensive cybersecurity defense and emergency response capabilities through practical exercises, effectively preventing and mitigating major cybersecurity risks such as ransomware intrusions, data encryption, and system paralysis, while further strengthening the barriers for government network security and data security.
Approximately 70 network technicians from various townships and county-level departments across the county participated in this drill.
In recent years, ransomware attack methods have been continuously evolving, spreading through phishing emails, system vulnerabilities, malicious links, and internal network penetration, making it easy to cause office system shutdowns, encryption and loss of important data, and seriously threatening the normal operation of government services.
This drill invited two experts from the Laibin City cybersecurity expert database to serve as technical advisors, adhering to the principles of "practical orientation, prevention first, and promoting improvement through exercises," focusing on key areas such as government systems, office terminals, and file servers. Participants simulated real ransomware attack scenarios on-site, replicating the attack chain of virus intrusion, lateral penetration, and mass encryption.
After the drill, a concentrated review of the offensive and defensive situations was organized, precisely identifying common issues such as weak terminal protection, delayed patch updates, non-standard data backups, and unskilled emergency response, and combining typical cases for explanations to popularize ransomware prevention knowledge and emergency response key points.
This specialized drill effectively addressed the shortcomings in ransomware defense in Xiangzhou County, further standardized emergency response procedures, and comprehensively improved staff risk identification and comprehensive defense capabilities.
