Cybersecurity and Cocktails: New Trends in Ransomware Response and Prevention
LMG Security and Fortinet would like to invite you to be our guest at this exclusive event with Sherri Davidoff, LMG Security CEO and author the New York Times dubs a “security badass”.
Ransomware has evolved. The emergence of ransomware-as-a-service and franchise models has fueled exponential growth in the cybercrime industry. Criminals are leveraging double and even triple-extortion, threatening to expose stolen data in addition to locking it up. All too often, ransomware is the last stage of a longer-term attack, where criminals lurk for weeks or even months in victim and supplier networks.
In this fast-paced talk, seasoned ransomware expert Sherri Davidoff shares her techniques for effectively containing and eradicating the adversary. Watch the latest ransomware in action, with screenshots from actual cases, and discuss strategies for preventing and recovering from a ransomware attack. We’ll also cover mistakes to avoid and tactics for thwarting the stealthiest new threats. Join us and learn the critical steps you can take to keep a ransomware from becoming a major catastrophe.
