The program will be presented by a panel of experts who are well-versed in
defending against, and responding to, Ransomware attacks.
Key

1. An 8-step IT security program to serve as the
front-line protection for cyber-risks;

the human element to security risks and complies with the law; and

fallen victim to cybercrime. Equip yourself with the tools to be proactive in a
reactive world!
