Organizations spend more money on cyber security tools every year, yet the number of breaches and the cost of these breaches continues to increase. A new approach is needed that relies on autonomous analysis that can respond at machine speed. By embracing automation, AI, and big data analytics, organizations can better prevent threats, find, and detect what is missed, provide contextual linking for forensic and threat hunting ¬– and even more importantly – self-heal and fully recover when necessary.

In the summer of 2020, as the world isolated from a pandemic, threat actors began targeting schools, hospitals, and critical public agencies with ransomware. In April of 2020, as the world transitioned overnight to telework, our agency became one of their early targets. In this case study, audiences will trace the attack and response, gain an understanding of the impact of a ransomware attack, learn about the recovery process, and explore commonalities that will allow them to apply our “lessons learned” to their own operations.

In the immediate aftermath of a ransomware attack, executives too often face a difficult dilemma: either pay a ransom or shut down critical systems and services. In today’s increasingly complex digital ecosystems, the collateral damage that ensues from ransomware attacks can be broad-ranging and destructive, with organizations taking days, weeks, or even months to recover.

But what if there was another way out – a way to surgically contain ransomware in its earliest stages, without disrupting normal business operations? Join this presentation to learn how Cyber AI is helping thousands of organizations fight back against ransomware. We’ll discuss:

• The impact of ‘double-extortion’ ransomware and ‘ransomware-as-a-service’
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Cyber AI
• How self-learning AI responds proportionately to ransomware, thanks to its deep understanding of an organization’s pattern of life

Large organizations are still being forced to pay ransoms due to ransomware attacks. Disruptions to services and supply chains are putting ransomware victims in the news under a negative spotlight. Join recovery and resilience experts from Zerto to discuss best practices to minimize downtime and avoid paying ransoms by being prepared. In this session, you’ll learn:

• Ransomware 101: A breakdown of a ransomware attack and how it affects systems
• What steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of attacks on your system
• How to best choose a recovery solution for ransomware
• How you can best harden your recovery systems against attacks
• How to create a recovery plan to react and recovery quickly
• How a company hit twice by ransomware improved recovery time from weeks to minutes by planning ahead

In our journey through this session, we take you through the evolution, goals, and motivation of the Dark Web. We will share with you what and whom you can find on the platforms as well as the major conflicts individuals face while exploring this web. The session also exposes you to the syndicates and structures running on the platforms. Surprisingly, we see how those groups were among the first to embrace and implement Blockchain technology and created a major global demand for crypto currencies. This is the time to listen, learn, and be exposed to the deepest secrets of the Dark Web.

Organizations have invested heavily in IT security, attempting to fortify their perimeter, network, endpoint, and application protections. Despite these investments, hackers are successfully penetrating these defenses and targeting enterprise data, including backup data. Ransomware is starting to specifically target online backups by encrypting or deleting them. If your organization was the target of an attack today, how do you know what data was impacted and where? Manually sifting through millions of files and comparing each snapshot consumes FTE time and prolongs recovery exponentially. Mass restores of the entire environment could mean high data loss and weeks’ worth of work down the drain. In this session, we will discuss how to protect your last line of defense, the backups. We will walk through the anatomy of a recovery, the best practices, and advanced tools to ensure you will not have to pay a ransom, and how to quickly recover your data to continue business operations.
