Ransomware preparedness: Are you ready?
Your organization’s systems are constantly subject to ransomware attempts, whether from phishing campaigns sent to end users or attacks that infiltrate your systems without needing to trick users. You’re confident in your defenses, but attackers are growing more sophisticated by the day. With enormous payouts, costly downtime and your reputation at stake, are you really willing to risk it? Ransomware detection is critical to business success, and the ability to simulate and test can reveal how truly ransomware-ready your systems are. Learn about this underused technology and how it can help your organization.

Ransomware – Behind the Headlines
Ransomware is on the radar of every organization, but what really happens once the bad actors infiltrate a system and how did they get there? From infection to remediation, to understanding how ransomware events unfold can help organizations prevent attacks and build effective response and recovery plans. With our threat intelligence, incident response, and product development teams working together, Unit 42 by Palo Alto Networks sees attacks from a very different perspective. Join Simon Conant, Principal Threat Research for Unit 42, as he shares an inside-out view of the ransomware crisis from the front lines, providing detailed threat intelligence and practical guidance on how you should rethink your defenses to stay ahead of the threat.

According to our FortiGuard Semiannual Global Threat Landscape Report, Ransomware increased by 10.7 times over the last 12 months! And not only has it gotten more prevalent, but they have also increase their levels of extortion. If you have not yet been a victim of a ransomware attack, the odds are that it is just a matter of time. If your organization has already been breached, you’re not immune. When that day comes, it is essential that you know what to do to minimize the impact to you, your team, and your business.
During this presentation, we will provide a brief session on key insights on ransomware tactics and techniques and steps an organization can or should take to effectively deal with an active ransomware attack.

Advances in Ransomware and How to Defend
Against It
Presented by: : Nirmal Singh, Director of Malware Labs at Zscaler and Brett Stone-Gross, Director of Threat Intelligence at Zscaler
Ransomware has increased in both velocity and sophistication in the past year, with over $20B in reported damages in 2020. Today, cybercriminals are bypassing defenses by hiding in encrypted traffic and trusted third-party applications and are increasing their leverage using double-extortion and DDoS tactics. The Zscaler ThreatLabz research team monitors data from over 150 million daily blocked attacks, uncovering insights into the mechanics of these attacks and how to prevent them.
Join Director of Threat Intelligence Brett Stone-Gross and Director of Malware Labs Nirmal Singh as they walk through emerging ransomware trends, frequently exploited vulnerabilities, attack sequences of the top ransomware families, and key strategies to prevent these evolving threats.
What Attendees Will Learn
- The latest trends in ransomware
- Attack sequences of the top ransomware families
- Key strategies to prevent modern ransomware attacks
- 4:00pm – 4:30pm EST
Presented by: Presented by David Paquette, Technologist and Product Marketing Manager at Zerto, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company
The threat of ransomware is evolving and growing well into 2021. Ransomware attacks continue to make national and world news. Ransomware goes beyond traditional cyber security, requiring more advanced data protection and recovery options from DR experts. Zerto can help. In this presentation, learn:
- How ransomware continues to evolve and threaten organizations
- Tips and best practices from the field
- How to plan for proactive and reactive ransomware recovery measures
- A case study involving two separate attacks on the same organization
- How Zerto helps protect and recover from ransomware attacks
- 4:00pm – 4:30pm EST

In recent months, an enormous amount of attention has been placed on the threats, impacts and costs of ransomware. Indeed, breaches in our critical infrastructures – fuel, utilities, food supply, government agencies, and other supply chains – have all been affected by such exploits. This talk is not about ransomware itself. This is a call for cybersecurity professionals tasked with protecting our organizations from operational harm, to think beyond ransomware, beyond the trend, and beyond the known expectations. The key takeaways from this discussion are:
- Determining where ransomware lies in the attack chain
- Understanding where security programs excel and have blind spots
- Strategies to build a more holistic security program to fend off the next level of attacks
