Though this is a good idea it's kind of important to also work on the other side, you know, ensuring IT has enough resources to make backups and do their job so that this shit doesn't happen in the first place.
Ransomware mostly happens when your systems are badly protected
You know that they only are prepared to offer cyber security experts minimum wage.
I was literally looking at this yesterday, if they doubled what they are offering it would still be well short of an entry-level wage in the private sector. Up to a point you can get away with it and rely on "patriotism" to fill the difference but not to this extent.
install ransomware, bin hardware and start over. not prepared with backups? wtf are you paid for?
