SXSW 2020

Cybersecurity & Ransomware - Protect the Business

Description:

Consumers, business, and governments are terrorized by ransomware attacking from thousands of miles away. In 2017, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 1,783 ransomware complaints that cost victims over $2.3 million and in 2018 there were an estimated 184,000,000 ransomware attacks. Ransomware is not an easy attack to defend against and paying the ransom does not automatically guarantee you will get your data back or that you will not be immediately targeted again. From thermostats in your home to transnational businesses, hear from experts on how ransomware has developed into a multi-billion dollar business and how to address your ransomware risk.
