Ransomware Summit 2023 | SANS Institute | 22 June 2023 | Virtual

Why are ransomware attacks so prevalent?
It's because they're effective and profitable for adversaries.

We have all heard the horror stories of bad actors gaining access and deploying ransomware on an organization's network, encrypting their data, and then demanding payment to regain access to their systems. The victim organizations are often unprepared and unable to deal with a ransomware attack, leading to severe financial and operational damage.

Attend the Summit to learn how to avoid a ransomware horror story first-hand. The Summit will bring together cybersecurity professionals and leading experts from around the world for a day of in-depth talks and discussions focused on ransomware prevention, detection, response, and recovery.

The Summit will explore these topics:
• Ransomware intrusion emulation
• Ransomware initial access vectors
• Defending against and responding to ransomware
• Tools and techniques for hunting ransomware operators
• The ransomware operator's toolbox - what tools and malware they use
• The ransomware affiliate model/Ransomware as a Service ecosystem
• Ransomware beyond encryption - double extortion, exfiltration of information, Denial of Service threats
• The financial side of ransomware - cryptocurrency tracking
• Recovering from ransomware
