Step 1

Mid-incident? Stop reading, start isolating.

Do these steps in this order. No decisions until the infected machine is off the network.

Do not power off: a hard shutdown destroys forensic evidence and RAM-resident keys.
Do not log in from a second machine: lateral movement is exactly what the actor wants.
Do not pay, do not negotiate, no external mail from a possibly-compromised mailbox yet.

We take over the heavy phases: forensics, recovery, AP notification file, and insurer reporting. You don't have to handle it solo.
