Impact of Ransomware Attacks Discussed at Nov. 16 Webinar

The volume and impact of ransomware attacks are increasing at alarming rates, and what’s surprising is that many organizations are falling victim to vulnerabilities they’re already aware of.

On Nov. 17, Dr. Michel Hébert, research director with the Information Security, Privacy, Risk and Compliance practice at Info-Tech Research Group, a technology research and advisory firm, will offer insights into how security leaders can improve security governance and operations, and defend against ransomware, in the webinar “Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack.”

The session will outline what you can do to reduce your exposure to ransomware and mount an effective security incident response when the time comes. Hébert will detail notable ransomware attacks during the first half of the year, share the impact of those attacks across industries, and offer ideas on how to protect against attacks, based on what’s been learned.

The percentage of cybersecurity professionals who believe their organization is not prepared to prevent a ransomware attack, the average cost of a ransomware attack, and the frequency of how often a new organization is attacked by ransomware will all be discussed.
