Ransomware 2021: What to Expect in the Year Ahead, from Malware Families to Payout Trends
Date: Friday, March 12th at 9 a.m. PST / 12 noon PST
2021 looks to be an interesting one for ransomware attacks. The year started off with law enforcement actions taken against the threat actors behind the Netwalker and Egregor ransomware families and, for the first time in half a decade ransom payments have started to fall. Does that mean that the ransomware threat is over?
Unfortunately, no. But it does mean that ransomware actors will be adapting their tactics and may become more aggressive in their attacks.
This talk will look at trends so far in 2021 and what to expect the rest of the year.
Join this session to learn:
- What ransomware actors to worry about in 2021
- New attack techniques used by ransomware actors
- New ransomware extortion techniques
- How to protect your organization from the new ransomware threats
