About the Webinar

Cybereason published a global research report, titled Ransomware: The True Cost to Business, which revealed that the vast majority of organizations that have suffered a ransomware attack experienced significant impact to the business as a result. The consequences included loss of revenue, damage to the organization’s brand, unplanned workforce reductions, and disruption of business operations.

Cybereason released follow-up research, titled Organizations at Risk: Ransomware Attackers Don’t Take Holidays, that focuses on the threat that ransomware attacks during the weekends and holidays poses to organizations. The global survey includes responses from 1,200+ security professionals at organizations that have previously suffered a successful ransomware attack.

Key topics for the session to include:

How Ransomware attackers are leveraging holidays and weekends for maximum impact
Why holiday/weekend ransomware attacks take longer to respond to and recover from, and why they result in more disruption and losses for targeted organizations
Why defenders believe ransomware attacks against their organizations were successful
Steps organizations across key verticals are taking to better prepare for weekend and holiday ransomware attacks
Recommendations from seasoned Security Operations Center (SOC) on how to better defend against ransomware attacks during these vulnerable periods
