## Recommendations
1. Monitor DLS feeds daily for your organization and supply chain partners
2. Prioritize patching vulnerabilities exploited by top active groups
3. Implement offline backup strategy to reduce extortion leverage
4. Conduct tabletop exercises for ransomware scenario response
5. Share indicators with sector ISACs and threat sharing communities
