Ransomware Preparedness: Strategies for a Secure Future

While ransomware prevention is always the goal, what happens when it occurs anyways? Backups or disaster recovery solutions are not enough. Companies need an actual plan on what to do, key steps to take as well as additional options for when primary solutions do not work as expected or simply fail.

Key takeaways:
- Initial assessment.
- Team communication.
- What to expect if you do or don’t pay the ransom.
- Bringing in third party help.
- Recovery process

Viewers will also learn pivotal prevention steps such as:
- Recovery points / Clusters.
- Infrastructure safe guards.
