Human-operated ransomware attacks are one of the top priority cyber threats facing companies, including in the food, health and consumer products industry. In this type of attack, criminals hack into the victim's network and deploy ransomware to take over control of the system or data, before attempting to extort organisations into paying ransoms that are commonly upwards of $1M depending on company size and revenue. Alongside the crippling impact on day-to-day business operations and manufacturing, these attacks result in significant regulatory and reputational ramifications. This session will discuss the business, technical and legal considerations in managing a ransomware threat.
What You Will Learn:
• What is ransomware and who are the threat actors?
• What are the business, technical and legal considerations for risk management?
• What are some proactive measures to minimize the potential for a ransomware attack?
• What are some reactive measures to respond to ransomware attacks and how do you prepare for it?
