Ransomware incidents increased sharply in 2019 due to organizations' existing security weaknesses and the development of increasingly sophisticated attack mechanisms specifically designed to exploit those weaknesses.

This presentation will examine case studies of how ransomware is evolving, how organizations should prepare and respond to ransomware, and the legal issues surrounding payment of ransom demands, the compromise of sensitive information, and how to recover from an attack.

Presentation level: MANAGERIAL (security and business leaders)
