Combating Ransomware: A Year of Action
Over the last year, ransomware attacks continued to plague institutions of all sizes—but thanks in part to the timely and comprehensive recommendations of the Ransomware Task Force, governments were more engaged and organizations are more focused on equipping themselves with the tools and policies needed to counter this threat. As the RTF completed its first year of impact, we hosted for a day of reflections, predictions, and connections on how we can continue to combat ransomware in 2022 and beyond.

Unpacking a Potential Ban on Ransom Payments: Implications, Alternatives, and What’s Next
Ransomware continues to threaten organizations, governments, schools, and even lives. Ransomware actors are primarily profit-motivated. Would a ban meaningfully decrease payments, and if so, would criminals shift away from this tactic? On February 15, IST hosted a webinar to assess the ecosystem’s level of preparedness for a ban, unpack the implications of a ban across industries, and discuss what comes next.
