Session 2: Preparing to Mitigate and Respond to Ransomware
Estimated global losses from cybercrime rose to $1 trillion in 2020, according to a report by McAfee. There’s also been a recent rise in ransomware attacks plaguing industries, leaving institutions either scrambling to remediate negative impacts or generate new preventive measures. Cybersecurity breaches can have severe financial, operational, and reputational consequences, and it can be difficult to defend your organization against these risks when hackers are consistently updating their methods to infiltrate your systems and steal confidential information.
We’ll dive into recent trends in ransomware—looking at where it is now, where it’s going, and steps you can take to protect your organization. From detection and prevention strategies to effective response procedures, we’ll detail what you can do to secure your systems before attacks happen, and what you need to do during an attack to contain and mitigate damage.
You’ll learn:
- What happens to your data when you get attacked
- Where malicious actors sell your information
- How to contain and respond to an attack if malicious actors succeed in infiltrating your systems
