Practical ways to defend your business from a ransomware attack

Ransomware has become one of the "go-to" mechanisms that cyber-criminals will use to extort money from businesses, due to its relative low barrier to entry and potential for a significant payoff.

Over the years, the techniques used for carrying out a ransomware attack have been refined by cyber-criminal groups to make them more effective and include a combination of social engineering, encryption, business analysis, extortion and negotiation.

This talk will discuss some of the new techniques that are being used by criminal groups that you should be aware of, and what you can do to avoid becoming the next victim.

In summary, the talk will discuss:

• What is ransomware
• Real-life examples
• Practical steps you can take to prevent a ransomware
• What to do if you have become infected
