Special Event:
May 20, 2022: 10:30am – 3:30pm EDT
Over the last year, ransomware attacks have continued to plague institutions of all sizes—but thanks in part to the timely and comprehensive recommendations of the Ransomware Task Force, governments are more engaged and organizations are more focused on equipping themselves with the tools and policies needed to counter this threat.
Now, as the RTF completes its first year of impact, we invite you to join us for a day of reflections, predictions, and connections on how we can continue to combat ransomware in 2022 and beyond.
Our event will include a keynote address from U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, feature fireside chat sessions with current and former CISA directors Jen Easterly and Chris Krebs, respectively; and showcase three focused panel discussions.
