We hear frequently in the news about local and state government agencies succumbing to ransomware attacks. Higher education isn't immune and we may not be prepared as well as we should be. There are many aspects to this type of attack and, unfortunately, the attackers frequently succeed. Until ransomware becomes less profitable, it will continue to get worse.
During this session, we will explore these questions:
- What does an attack look like and how does it progress?
- Why is it so profitable and how does cyber insurance factor in?
- Why are some organizations so vulnerable to it?
- What can we do to stop this epidemic?
