An Evening with IOActive: Ransomware Keeps Holding us Hostage. Are you Ready?

Please join us and event speaker, Lance Reck, Associate Director of Services at IOActive, for a discussion on defending against ransomware. Drinks and heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served to attending guests. Spots are limited, so RSVP today!

ABSTRACT:

Ransomware attacks continue to escalate, posing significant threats to organizations worldwide. Let’s face it, you are going to experience this at least once in your professional career. Recently, ransomware.org surveyed hundreds of organizations and found that around 56% of businesses were unsure whether their defenses were capable enough to fend off attacks. Your ability to withstand a ransomware attack depends on your level of preparedness. This presentation explores the importance of being well-prepared to effectively defend against ransomware incidents. By establishing effective and proactive security measures, organizations can better defend against ransomware attacks and minimize their impact. If done well, these measures do not have to be costly in resources and time and have a multiplier effect on an organization.
