Ransomware has gone nuclear: To avoid any fallout yourself, tune in online this month to hear from KnowBe4

Webcast We’ve been hearing about ransomware for years now. You may even personally know a company that has been a victim and quietly paid up, and you may even know someone who’s told you not to worry. “It’s OK if you have a good backup,” they say.

Well, think again. In the past few months, ransomware has gone nuclear. There is a reason more than half of today’s ransomware victims end up paying up. A new generation of malware-armed criminals are crafting plans to cause the most panic, pain, and operational disruption. They will take the time to maximize the potential damage inflicted on your organization, and also max out their payoff – not just encrypting your data, but stealing it and posting it publicly if you don’t play ball.

Join Roger Grimes from KnowBe4 and Tim Phillips from The Reg for a live webcast, brought to you by KnowBe4, on May 21 at 12pm PDT (3pm EDT), in which they will sound the ransomware emergency klaxon. They will take your questions on:

  • How sophisticated ransom attacks are stealing your data and what they do with it
  • Why your data backups alone can’t protect you from nuclear ransomware
  • And, most important, how to protect yourself from the new nuclear threat
