Session I Cybersecurity in 2022 (1300-1445)

It doesn’t matter where you get your news these days, almost daily you are reading something about ransomware. For many organizations, taking the right steps to ensure the protection of data and assets seems to be a moving target. But there are actions you can take to prevent zero day vulnerabilities from growing into mass compromise ransom events.
Join us as we discuss the cybercrime impacts on businesses targeted with ransomware and some of the long reaching effects. We will also examine an ‘assume-breach mindset’ and why it's critical to adopt in the age of rampant attacks and as with all ransomware activity, there are basic steps an organization can take to protect itself before and after such an event.
