A multinational law firm suffered a sophisticated malware attack that encrypted critical legal documents and disrupted access to client records across several regional offices. After isolating infected infrastructure and eradicating active threats, the incident response team enters the recovery phase, aiming to restore systems and resume operations globally.
Plans involve using archived contents and collaboration media; however, threat intelligence reports suggest that some of these archives may originate from already compromised environments. This raises concern about reinfection risks if latent malware is unknowingly reintroduced during system restoration. To prevent reinfection, ensure service continuity, and avoid legal and reputational consequences, recovery must be executed securely and with caution. Given this context, which recovery-focused action should the organization prioritize to ensure the safe reconstitution of its systems and services?
