Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics which might not seem to be directly related to compliance but clearly influence our profession. In this episode, begin a two-part series with Aly McDevitt, Data & Research Journalist at Compliance Week. We take a deep dive into her series case study on a ransomware attack on a fictional company. Highlights include:

·      Why this subject matter for a deep dive?

·      The research that went into the piece. How many people interviewed and how long was the research process?

·      Writing style. Locked yourself in a room and not come out until its done or more collaborative process with an editor?

·      Story Synopsis- how common is Betty’s mistake?

·      What is the role of the CIRT and MSSP? How critical was VE’s preparation to its ability to respond?
