I was very pleased with the content.

I wish the IP presentation had been longer.

Planning for a Ransomware Attack: Practical Steps for Response Preparedness and Risk Mitigation (Jun 2022)

“Ransomware” incidents have become an everyday event. The incidents typically involve extortion based on data encryption or data theft, or both. This panel will share lessons learned from a variety of experiences. Topics for discussion include importance of “table top” exercises, understanding cyber insurance coverage, attack methods, forensic timelines and artifacts, efforts to maintain privilege, negotiations with and paying threat actors (potential pitfalls of violating OFAC sanctions), cooperation as between a responsible customer/controller and an attacked vendor/processor, analysis of impacted files (and the importance of record retention practices), addressing business customers when business records are exposed, increased attention by state and federal regulators, and collaboration with law enforcement.
