NCSC recently stated, “that ransomware remains one of the most acute cyber threats facing the UK”. Traditional approaches to mitigating ransomware need to be re-evaluated. The advanced design of today’s ransomware cyberattacks requires organizations to adopt an “Assume-Breach” mindset.

During the session, explore what new unique tools are out there to mitigate and contain the Ransomware threat and help you proactively built resilience and automation and 24/7 protection.
