The Never Ending Fight Against Ransomware

Days of sending fax messages and messages via postal services are long gone. The world has gone digital, and the world has gone internet. If you are using email, video calling, a smart phone, or anything else that connects to the internet you are at risk of being compromised. If you are managing a business or managing any organization you are also exposed to that risk. One email, one click on one rogue URL and your team has just been neutralized by one action of one person with one device in your organization. This is the typical discovery bosses make about the risks of not thinking about cyber security. Ransomware is the biggest threat to an operation of our generation.

In the March CEO Insights network meeting we will welcome Mr. Cartan McLaughlin of Nihon Cyber Defense. This company deals every day with cyber security challenges their customers have. In this meeting we will focus specifically on ransomware as it is something every company will eventually experience.

• What does good look like and what does bad look like with an attack?
• To pay or not to pay
• The benefits of negotiating with the attackers

CI members will receive the inside scoop and be ready to deal with a situation before it happens. In addition, you will receive a sample Daily Ransomware Update to review showing that each company has different exposures as well as fundamental things the CEO must be aware of.
