Topic

Cyber Recovery in the Age of Ransomware

Nick Holland

Executive Editor, ISMG

The digital transformation of today’s organizations is more than a buzzword – it’s at the core of 21st century commerce, as cloud and IoT become critical for maintaining a competitive advantage. However, the reliance of “always on, always connected” technology is a double edge sword. – Today’s cybercriminals are exploiting this need for digital connectivity with ransomware and other attacks that can cost organizations millions of dollars in lost revenue and productivity, potentially even closing businesses forever.

How do today’s organizations remain resilient to the constant onslaught of cyberattacks? And in the event of a malicious cyber incident, how do I ensure that critical data is not only backed up, but also able to be restored?

If you’re looking for answers to these questions, then please join Nick Holland for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on how business growth can be protected with an ever evolving and expanding attack surface.

Discussion topics will include:

How confident are you in being able to recover from a malicious cyberattack?
What are your greatest concerns when it comes to disaster backup and recovery?
What are the best ways to articulate the importance of a robust cyber recovery strategy to C-level executives?

Joining Nick to provide expert insight and case studies is Andrew Peters, Stealth Industry Director from Unisys, and Brandon Schaffer, Director Global Alliances and OEM, Presales Engineering, from Dell EMC.
