About the Event
Three years after the original Ransomware Task Force report, ransomware remains a threat to businesses, schools, governments, and individuals.
As of May 2023, 50% of the Ransomware Task Force’s original 48 recommendations have seen significant progress–but what about the other 24?
On April 24, we will zero in on those 24 and discuss how we might redouble our efforts to deter ransomware attacks through a nationally and internationally coordinated, comprehensive strategy; disrupt the ransomware business model and reduce criminal profits; help organizations prepare for ransomware attacks; and respond to ransomware attacks more effectively.
