Ransomware – The Next Generation of Cyber Threats Explained

Ransomware – The Next Generation of Cyber Threats Explained

ELN in conjunction with Gemserv are hosting an insightful roundtable to discuss “ransomware – the next generation of cyber threats explained”.

Ransomware attacks are costing the global economy £6trn annually. We’ve seen an evolution in ransomware tactics, especially where organisational vulnerabilities have been highlighted during the pandemic. The malicious groups sending these threats have broadened their capability to extort ransoms from their victims, by not only restricting access to data (via encryption or locking users out of the filesystem), but also exfiltrating the data and then threatening to release it. In addition, the cyber criminals are increasingly threatening to auction off the stolen data to other criminal groups, forcing the hand of the victims. This can have significant implications for your organisation’s operations and reputation.

In order to mitigate the likelihood and impact of a ransomware attack, it is essential that you have effective security procedures in place; combination of people-centric, process and technical controls. It is the combination of these three control areas that ensure a robust defence and resilience against ransomware attacks.

Join award winning CISO, Andy Green and guests, to deep dive into the tools and solutions that you need to combat these threats. Gemserv is ‘The Times 2021 Leading Management Consultancy’ and will provide you with key takeaways and actionable strategies to help you mitigate risk to your data and your organisation.

This is a roundtable you won’t want to miss.
