(Alleen beschikbaar in het Engels)

On Thursday 23rd of June 2022, our Ransomware Resilience Principal, Paul Pols, will host the live webinar: "Raising Resilience against Ransomware Attacks", where we will use recent ransomware cases to illustrate preventative methods. Join the webinar and fire away all your questions that you might have on ransomware! Sign up here.

Abstract:

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats for organizations nowadays. The expectation is that this threat will grow even further. That is because ransomware is such a lucrative business case for cybercriminals: organizations are too often unprepared for these attacks and decide to pay the ransom, while ransomware components are readily available and the chance of getting caught is very small. In this webinar, we will look into these factors and explain how organizations can become more resilient against these attacks. We will be using examples of recent ransomware attacks in different industries, such as the government, critical infrastructure, and industry.
