11:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST | 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM PST

You thought it was bad before?

You may wish for the days when ransomware attackers just used some malware, encrypted data, and asked you for Bitcoin. Supply chain attacks, doxing and blackmail threats, intellectual property theft, and inventive ransom requests that have deep business consequences, are now part and parcel of the attacker toolbox. How are IT leaders supposed to prepare for such complex threats?

In this virtual event, presented by ITPro Today and InformationWeek, get a better picture of today’s threat landscape; learn what tools and techniques can best help your organization detect and prevent these attacks; design a thorough incident response plan that will help your organization survive a successful attack intact; and be prepared with a fast answer to the age-old question: “to pay or not to pay?”

Topics Include:
Defense strategies and skills
Identifying and avoiding insider threats
Understanding today’s threat landscape

How to Prevent Ransomware Attacks

Sponsored by: Fortinet
Presented by: Curtis Franklin, Omdia Sr. Analyst, Security Operations

Sad but true: new ransomware attack tactics mean your current backup and restore strategy may no longer suffice. Cyber resilience now requires intelligence and agility—in the backup process, in intrusion and malware detection, and in rapidly learning (and applying) lessons from successful intrusions. This keynote from Curtis Franklin, Omdia’s Security Operations senior analyst, will teach you how to stay one step ahead of increasingly sophisticated threat actors.

Ransomware 3.0: We Thought It Was Bad - and Then It Got Even Worse

Sponsored by: KnowBe4
Presented by: Roger A. Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4

We thought it was bad enough when traditional ransomware started to steal data in its second generation of evolution, now dubbed “double extortion”. The third stage of ransomware is beginning to happen now and will make us wish for the good, old days of Ransomware 2.0.

Attend this presentation to learn how ransomware is evolving to inflict maximum damage and more importantly how to protect yourself and your organization.

Roger A. Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4, was among the first to warn the world about Ransomware 2.0 – the almost accidental attacks that became a storm.

Here is his latest early warning.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • How ransomware is evolving beyond double extortion, what’s coming next
  • The likely end-state of ransomware and how it will extract maximum value from each victim
  • Proven best practice defenses that you need to follow to avoid becoming a victim
  • How to empower your users to be the best, last line of defense when everything else fails

Don’t become another statistic. Stay one step ahead of cybercriminals!

Moderated by: Steve Hill
Panelists: John Pironti, President, IP Architects, LLC; Jonathan Reiber, VP for Cybersecurity Strategy and Policy, AttackIQ; David Siles, Global Field CISO, Rubrik

The FBI discourages organizations from paying ransoms, but many victims end up doing so, especially when the costs of a prolonged attack stand to outweigh the ransom amount. Whether to pay or not depends on a number of complex factors. Listen as our panel of security experts discuss the risks of paying, how paying impacts organizations, and the best ways to prevent ransomware attacks to begin with.
