Cyber Security Summit Webinar August 2021 - Ransomware Unplugged: What does the most recent cyber plague mean?
Sam Curry explores the reasons behind the sharp rise in ransomware attacks and the difficult questions brought on by this threat. Should an organization ever pay the ransom? What damage is risked from an attack, not only to revenue but to brand, morale, and insurance premiums? And most importantly, what can an organization do to recover from such an attack, or make sure it doesn’t happen in the first place?
Speaker:
