Ransomware continues to be the number one cybersecurity threat globally. Its ever-evolving nature creates new strains, tactic changes and sophisticated attacks that cybersecurity professionals struggle to keep up with. One notable shift in the ransomware landscape has been the move from traditional encryption tactics to data exfiltration and extortion. In 2024 93% of ransomware attacks involve data exfiltration, as ransomware groups focus on stealing sensitive data for the purpose of extortion.
Join this session to discover more about:
- Ransomware trends and insights
- The rise of exfiltration and extortion
