Ransomware Defense and Response: Minimizing Risk of an Increasing Threat | SANS Cyber Defense Forum
Human-operated ransomware is a growing cyber threat that has seriously impacted a number of major organisations and dominated recent news headlines. In this type of attack, hands-on-keyboard operators gain initial access, compromise privileged accounts, and deploy ransomware as widely as possible. The human-element of these attacks allows the most critical infrastructure within an organisation to be targeted, often resulting in significant and long-term disruption.
In this talk we will present the key cyber defence techniques required to effectively and efficiently prevent and respond to human-operated ransomware attacks.
Speakers:
Gabriel Currie @gabrielcurrie, Senior Cyber Security Manager, PwC
Will Oram @willoram, Senior Cyber Security Manager, PwC
