CEO and Founder
LIFARS

Cyber extortion has reached new proportions, including six-figure ransomware payments. Considering the payoff, cybersecurity experts expect these attacks to only increase. But stories made public provide limited knowledge of initial attack vector or details. This session presents real cases of cyber extortion on corporate and high net-worth individuals, including hacking techniques for full network compromise and deployment of ransomware kits. Many of the cases discussed are currently under investigation by the FBI and U.S. Secret Service. Attendees will walk away from this session with knowledge of the tools and strategies needed for elevating their cyber resilience.

Learning Objectives:

Understand hacking techniques and how ransomware attacks actually take in place.
Define different kinds of tools and conduct strategies to defend ransomware and how to use them to elevate cyber resilience.
Describe a compromised network and what action needs to be take place.
