Description

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 (download a copy here).

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.
