Public sector organizations are under siege—ransomware attacks are now more frequent and sophisticated than ever before. In this episode, our Cybersecurity Working Group dives into two recent cyberattacks that struck at the heart of our nation’s courts, targeting justice systems that millions rely on each day.

Returning to the host’s chair is Larry Zorio, Chair of the Cybersecurity Working Group and Chief Information Security Officer at Mark43. Larry leads an insightful discussion with David Slayton, Court Executive Officer and Clerk of the Court for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, and Robert Adelardi, Chief Information Officer for the 11th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida in Miami-Dade County. Both guests bring invaluable frontline perspectives from courts that have faced ransomware threats head-on and persevered.

David and Robert offer a behind-the-scenes account of what it was like when ransomware disrupted core court operations. They’ll recount how their teams mobilized in real time, the critical decisions made under pressure, and the practical steps every court and public sector agency can take to strengthen defenses and recovery plans.
