Surviving the “Golden Age” of Ransomware
Experts are warning that we are experiencing a “golden age” for ransomware. With new attacks reported almost daily, the pressure is on for CISOs to protect against not only sophisticated networks and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) schemes, but also outdated security mindsets within their own organizations.
Join this session to learn:
- Key lessons from recent high-profile attacks
- Emerging and evolving trends among threat actors and their targets
- Innovative ways to reduce risk and improve resilience
