Reset all user passwords for Gainsight NXT users not using SSO and enforce multi-factor authentication where possible. Temporarily disable or reauthorize all third-party applications and integrations relying on Gainsight tokens or credentials. Monitor logs for the use of suspicious user agent strings such as "Salesforce-Multi-Org-Fetcher/1.0" and unusual IP addresses, especially those linked to known malicious activity. Conduct thorough audits of OAuth tokens and refresh tokens, revoking any that are unrecognized or suspicious. Implement network segmentation and restrict lateral movement capabilities to limit ransomware propagation. Deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting advanced ransomware behaviors like process termination and event log hooking.

Educate staff on phishing and social engineering tactics that may facilitate token theft or credential compromise. Finally, ensure compliance with GDPR breach notification requirements and prepare incident response plans tailored to cloud integration threats.
