All cyberattacks are evolving, and attacks are getting more and more adaptive and cunning. Recently, ransomware has dominated the headlines, and incidents among the nation’s state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) government entities, as well as critical infrastructure organizations, have been growing for years. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid. Malicious actors continue to adapt their ransomware tactics over time, and in recent months “ransomware” attacks have outpaced so much so that they’re the #1 cyberattack in 2022 and continue to gain traction.

But don’t fret, there is hope! Come join us on a walkthrough of known countermeasures against ransomware attacks and many other attacks that could be a game changer in your security strategy: Proactivity, Awareness, Preparedness, and Resilience.

The “business” of ransomware has grown and it has become harder to combat the attacks. In 2019, one study showed that ransomware potentially cost the U.S government, health care providers, and schools approximately $7.5 billion, and according to Gartner, by 2025, at least 75% of IT organizations will face one or more attacks. When ransomware strikes, you either pay the ransom or attempt to recover. In this session, join us for a front row seat to hear what really happens during a ransomware attack and get insight from lessons learned from the “front lines” of recovering from an incident.
