Boardroom: PROACTIVE DIGITAL SECURITY TRANSFORMATION- DACH: IS PAYING THE RANSOM CHEAPER THAN BUILDING THE RIGHT DEFENCE? (27th May)

15:00 - 16:30 CEST - Hosted on Zoom

Ransomware will continue to cause problems in 2021 and CISOs can expect to see threat actors becoming more creative with their attacks. This is a problem for organizations of all sizes, with attackers focusing on stealing and encrypting data- especially since many companies have moved to the cloud, where you increasing amounts of data can be found. When planning defensive strategies, IT security professionals must recognize that the cost of a ransomware attack goes far beyond the initial ordeal and extortion. So how do CISOs proactively fight against attackers with their limited budgets, and resources?

In this session we will discuss:

• Good network and security hygiene
• How to educate employees
• Best practices against attackers
