Robbery by Ransomware: Stick’em Up and Hand Over The Bitcoin!

High-profile ransomware news stories grabbed headlines a few years ago, but faded in popularity through 2018 as other attacks like cryptojacking grew more profitable. Since the first months of 2020, ransomware attacks are on the rise and in the news again! Join this session with Global Advisory CISO Dave Lewis from Duo Security to catch up on the historical rise and fall (and rise…) of ransomware from floppy disks to RaaS (ransomware as a service), why it’s seen a resurgence in popularity along with recent data on the state of ransomware currently, and how you can improve your defenses against ransomware attacks. Presenter: Dave Lewis, Global Advisory CISO, Duo Security Moderator: Tony Vizza, CISSP, CCSP, Director of Cybersecurity Advocacy, APAC, (ISC)²
