About Hands-on Ransomware Mitigation
Ransomware has emerged as one of the most impactful and expensive cyber threats of recent years. High-profile attacks have caused significant supply chain disruptions in many industries, and organizations that fall victim to a ransomware infection experience data loss and high costs of recovery. Additionally, as ransomware attacks have evolved, companies face the threat of data breaches, DDoS attacks and direct extortion of their customers. This learning path explores the ransomware threat and the life cycle of a ransomware attack. It dives into how ransomware attacks work under the hood and best practices for preventing, detecting, containing and remediating a ransomware attack. Throughout the learning path, real-world case studies will explore high-profile attacks and how they were handled by their targets.
