May 1, 2025 | 3:30 pm ET / 12:30 pm PT

It’s been 4 years since the Ransomware Task Force first launched. The RTF helped pioneer the way policymakers approach ransomware and elevated its importance to a true national security threat. Since then, 50% of its recommendations have seen progress – but the others have not. At RSA Conference, IST Chief Strategy Officer & RTF Executive Director Megan Stifel moderates a panel to explore what's worked, and what hasn't.
