Real-World Best Practices for Ransomware Defense & Remediation
Date: Friday, April 14 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET
Ransomware continues to present a persistent threat to enterprises a
nd organizations of all sizes. Ransomware attacks have actually been on the rise since 2020, both in scope and sheer volume. According to Verizon’s 2022 data breach report, there has been a 13% increase in ransomware attacks over the past five years. In fact, just this year alone, the average cost of a ransomware attack has been $1.85 million. The National Health Service (NHS) recently experienced a $100 million loss after being hit with the WannaCry ransomware attack. The first half of 2022 saw nearly 236.7 million ransomware attacks worldwide.
You do not want to be in the headlines for having a ransomware attack. Thankfully, 90% of ransomware attacks haven’t resulted in any loss. During this session, we will discuss some concrete, real-world tactics for presenting your best defense against ransomware as well as how to remediate an attack when one does occur.
