The Engine Behind Ransomware: A Fireside Chat on the Impact of Ransomware and the Cross-Industry Collaboration Needed
September 13 @ 2:00 - 3:00 pm EDT, Virtual - CIPS member tickets open!
While chief information security officers (CISOs) have been monitoring and mitigating ransomware threats for many years, the increased volume and sophistication of the attacks requires a deeper analysis. It also calls for cross-industry collaboration among executive peers who can share knowledge and help support one another in their efforts to safeguard their organizations, data, and people.
Join us for a fireside chat where they will discuss the recently published whitepaper: Blueprint: The Engine Behind Ransomware.
Paul will moderate the chat while both Michael and Sonny engage in a lively debate on the motivation and underground business models of ransomware, the real cost of ransomware, and the impact of emerging technologies on the ransomware economy.
