Special Event:
May 20, 2022: 10:30am – 3:30pm EDT
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.
The event included a keynote address from U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, featured fireside chat sessions with current and former CISA directors Jen Easterly and Chris Krebs, respectively; and showcased three focused panel discussions.
