Join Symantec on Wednesday, August 9th for Cyber on the Hill, an interactive seminar for local cyber security professionals covering the widespread threat of ransomware and what you can do to protect yourself and your organization.
During 2016, ransomware was one of the most significant threats facing both individuals and organizations. Attackers have honed and perfected the ransomware business model, using strong encryption, anonymous Bitcoin payments, and vast spam campaigns to create dangerous and wide-ranging malware.
This presentation will cover brief ransomware statistics of 2016, the anatomy and tools of a ransomware attack, and the steps users and organizations can take to protect themselves.
