Seattle Public Library recovers from ransomware attack, makes moves to strengthen tech security

“The work to strengthen our systems began prior to the attack, but remaining items in IT’s work plan were expedited after the attack,” said Laura Gentry, head of communications for the library. “Since Memorial Day weekend, the library expedited migration to SharePoint Online, as well as implementation of multi-factor authentication on staff systems — which took place over the course of three days, rather than the weeks-long process we had planned.”
