Webinar: Will you pay the ransom?

Incident Response (IR) plans look good on paper. Until they’re tested in a high-pressure situation. This simulation tests your playbook and ensures its ready, should you ever need to call upon it.

Consider the following scenario:

• Your company’s been hit by ransomware.
• Emotions are running high.
• Your clients depend on you.

Attackers “promise” to give back your data…if you pay the ransom.

This incident response simulation will give you a look inside the war room, where every decision counts and time isn’t on your side. Will you pay the ransom?

Hosted by

• Emma Portlock – Microsoft Specialist at BCN.
• Matt Lovell – CEO at CloudGuard.
