If your organisation suffered a ransomware attack today, how confident are you that your business could recover quickly? Could you ignore the ransom?
It’s widely accepted that dealing with a ransomware attack is inevitable. In 2021, attacks rose exponentially – taking place every 30 seconds. At the same time, as a result of the pandemic, organisations have dramatically accelerated their digital transformation. 88% of Australian organisations have gone over and above their cloud roll-out plans, costs have multiplied and IT complexity has grown exponentially. This mean security measures have struggled to keep up and there is a lack of clarity around what needs protecting. This is leaving the door open to risks, such as ransomware.
We discussed:
· How Security and IT leaders are dealing with this critical issue on a daily basis
· Experiences around response and recovery
· Best practises for Cyber Response Plans – people, processes and technology.
