In Part 1, we discussed the threat landscape, including sharing results of one of the largest independent research studies on ransomware preparedness and response, based on 1,000 cyber attacks and focusing specifically on research results from federal agencies. We discussed why agencies must build resilient, well-documented, and continually tested recovery plans to ensure clean data is available for recovery. Attendees learned:

• The importance of creating actionable and repeatable disaster recovery plans to improve your overall cyber resilience
• How to prove compliance through automated testing and meet your RTO and RPOs
• How to enable the fastest response to ransomware attacks by actively detecting malicious behavior
• How immutability and air gapping can protect your data
