Presentation Description: As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, ransomware is fast becoming the number one menace. Financial gain is the primary motivation for computer intrusions. Unlike malware that allows criminals to steal valuable data and use it across the digital marketplace, ransomware directly targets the owners of data, holding their computer files hostage until a ransom is paid. This session will discuss ransomware history and overview, various types, attack vectors, and a few case studies.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about the various ransomware tactics and techniques.
Discuss ways to recognize ransomware attacks and assist session attendees on protecting themselves during this type of attack.
Identify ransomware symptoms and what to do when it happens.
