How to Keep IT Operations Running, No Matter What

August 24, 2023
11:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET | 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM PT

It’s clear that IT needs fewer bells and whistles in cybersecurity and operational alerts and more business bounce-back from attacks and outages. Resiliency means your business must be able to take the punches and remain in full operation. There are plentiful options but no guarantee that any single solution can provide resilience against onslaughts that vary from sudden cloud outages to prolonged ransomware attacks. A layered plan, however, could be just the thing. Here’s what you need to consider.

Topics Include:
Challenges in Keeping Up With Cyber Resiliency
Ransomware Preparedness for Enterprises
Preparing for Cloud Service Outages

How to Respond to a Ransomware Attack: Preparations to Do Today

Sponsored by: Wiz
Presented by: Christian Hyatt, CEO & Co-Founder & Cory Wolff, Director, Offensive Security, risk3sixty

Responding to a ransomware attack entails more than deciding whether to pay the ransom or not. There are regulations on disclosures and required notifications, cyber insurance steps to be followed to make a claim, and backup and resiliency plans to put into play immediately.

Other factors may also apply, requiring extra steps or more documentation. It’s hard to cover all the bases – and each in the right order – in the heat of the moment. Listen in as our speaker covers key preparations to make now, before an attack, so you’ll be ready to respond effectively if and when your business is suddenly locked down by criminals.
