On February 10th, 2022, at 2:00pm EST, The AML shop in partnership with industry Cybersecurity experts Valencia Risk, will deliver an awareness session on ransomware breach response and readiness.
Valencia Managing Director and 25-year cybersecurity expert Aron Feuer will be joined by Richard McDonald, former CIO of CSIS and CSE, and Matt McGuire, Practice Leader of The AML Shop.
Webinar Description:
When an attack hits, executives must act quickly. Data shows that in the case of a ransomware breach, Canadian organizations are coming in cold, navigating uncharted waters with untested tools and playbooks. This session will describe the importance of being prepared for an attack through sharing the experience of a ransomware outbreak - from initial breach to recovery.
Attendees will learn:
• What to expect from their cyber-insurance provider, MSSP, and tech partners
• When to act fast, and how to make informed decisions during a breach
• What to consider and common steps involved in paying ransoms (and trying to recover them)
• How to interact with prudential, privacy and law enforcement/money laundering authorities throughout the incident
• Steps to take when a client of your financial institution or crypto exchange seeks to pay a ransom
• What to measure for Cybersecurity health
• Why a cybersecurity audit or assessment isn’t the best tool
