Webinar: The Ransomware Playbook

Ransomware attacks have impacted public and private sector organizations of all sizes in recent years and have sparked debate among both policymakers and security professionals about how best to deal with them. However, last year’s attacks against Colonial Pipeline and meat processor JBS USA caused significant disruptions to the nation’s fuel and food supply chains and served as a watershed moment for the problem. This webinar will delve into the steps organizations can take to prevent a ransomware infection as well as what to do if they do find themselves locked out of their computer networks.Issues to be discussed include:

• Big or small, every organization is a potential target. So, why is the threat so widespread?
• The market for ransomware became increasingly “professional” and there has been an increase in cybercriminal services-for-hire.
• More and more, ransomware groups are sharing victim information, including access to victims’ networks.
• Cybercriminals are diversifying their approaches to extorting money.
• Ransomware groups are having an increasing impact thanks to approaches targeting the cloud, managed service providers, industrial processes and the software supply chain.
• Ransomware groups are increasingly targeting organizations on holidays and weekends.
