Ransomware attacks: lessons and emergent trends from the frontline

Ransomware attacks are hitting some of the biggest organisations across the globe right now, with devastating consequences for its victims.

It's not just these large, data-rich organisations either. The attacks are reaching across all kinds of industries, all sizes of businesses and every location. If you're not keeping up with the right methods to prevent it from happening to you, it's a matter of 'when, not if ' you'll be targeted.

In this 30-min webinar, get the most up to date information about ransomware, what our experts have witnessed from the ‘frontline’ and why it's become so prevalent.

• The most recent whats, whys and hows of ransomware, including emerging trends such as "double-tapping" (getting hit twice).
• Exploring two new trends; targeted "big game hunting" threats as well as "commodity" actors.
• What you can do to prevent a ransomware attack on your business (and the ways that actually work in today's environment).
• Why threat informed defence (./Intelligence Led defence) is the next frontier - especially for New Zealand organisations.
