Data Encryption and Computer Hard Drives

Cyber extortion has reached new proportions, including ransomware attacks such as WannaCry in May 2017, and SamSam affecting major hospitals in 2016.

Considering the payoff, cybersecurity experts expect these attacks to only increase. This model of extortion attacks is affecting everyone, and it is only going to become more popular as hackers gain access to affordable “Ransomware-as-a-Service” tools to aid their cause.

CEOs are major targets, as they manage extremely sensitive data that can have a real impact on everything from future corporate strategy to public stock performance.

Join this interactive webinar and learn more about the tools and strategies needed for elevating your cyber resilience.

- Protecting Data in the Age of Ransomware -

2017 was a bumper year for Ransomware; with WannaCry & notPetya grabbing headlines around the world and instilling fear in the hearts of security professionals around the globe.

With GDPR regulations on the horizon and potentially huge fines for badly protected and breached data, security professionals need to improve their defensive stature and ensure that their organisation's data is fully protected from end to end.

This roundtable discussion will discuss how to best protect your data so if it falls into the wrong hands, you won't end up on the front of the worlds' papers!

Topics for discussion:

- Why ransomware should still be top of your list of concerns in 2018

- Methods to protect your organisation's sensitive data

- Steps to take if your organisation does suffer a damaging breach

Ask any security practitioner and they’ll tell you that ransomware is on the rise. Recent high-profile events like Petya, WannaCry, and others have captured media attention both the trade and mainstream press and, by extension, have captured executive attention at the highest levels of organizations.

High profile events like these create havoc in the short term, but in the long term may actually help to foster security improvements provided that security teams are prepared to leverage them when they occur. Specifically, by preparing in advance “talking points” for situations like these, and by channeling executive interest and visibility when they occur, security practitioners can help make progress in areas that are normally challenging. For example, by securing budget to address known problem areas, prioritizing and gaining visibility for known risks, or by securing additional personnel to address skill shortages. The key to doing this is in the planning.

This session will focus on the talking points; both specific talking points arising from these events that practitioners can tailor for their situation as well as how they can prepare talking points for future situations should they arise.

Hacking and malware attacks, including ransomware attacks, are a major cause of breaches in 2017. With high-profile ransomware attacks on the rise, enterprises and small businesses worldwide are looking to better secure their data from cyber criminals and more nefarious attackers.

Join this interactive Q&A session with security experts across industries to learn more about:
- What can we learn from Wannacry, NotPetya and other ransomware attacks seen in 2017
- Financial motivation or disruption
- Who is at risk of a ransomware attack
- What to do before, during, and after a ransomware attack
- How can we better protect our businesses, organizations, governments and infrastructure from cyber attacks
- Urgent steps to take today

The cyberthreat landscape is becoming ever more complex and destructive. Over the last 12 months, attacks targeting enterprises have increased significantly in both number and range – with a measurable impact on operations, revenue, customers and reputation.

In this summit, experts from IT and business will discuss the most dangerous cyberthreats targeting enterprises, how to stay protected even when breached, as well as threat intelligence, incident response, the legal, insurance and communications challenges – and more.

Participants will be able to join in the debate and ask questions. They will leave armed with clear, actionable intelligence.
