Defend Yourself and Your Agency Against Ransomware
What would you do if your agency's data was held ransom and the only way to get it back was to pay someone $17,000? That's exactly what happened to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center earlier this year.
Ransomware is a type of malicious software restricting access to a victim’s infected computer, demanding the victim pay money to gain access back. While the average ransom is only a few hundred dollars for individuals, hackers are beginning to target large organizations and agencies while demanding much larger sums of money. Do you think you're doing enough to protect yourself against ransomware threats?
October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) and it's time to start learning how to better protect yourself, and your agency, online. View our on-demand webcast to celebrate NCSAM and learn about Ransomware from security trainer, Kevin Poniatowski.
Join Kevin for a discussion on Ransomware and find out:
- What Ransomware is
- How it affects you
- Real world examples
- What to do if you are a victim of Ransomware
- How to avoid threats
