# Talk

Over the course of the past 12 months, Ransomware Threat Actors have been increasingly targeting hypervisors as the platform of choice to execute their ransomware payloads. These techniques often leave backups destroyed, bypass most endpoint security controls and are lightening fast and devastating in their impact. This talk will share how hypervisor infrastructure is compromised, the sorts of payloads that execute, some useful detection techniques and the key controls to prevent this happening in the first place.

# Speaker: Paul Pratley

Paul has over 15 years of experience in digital forensics and incident response consulting. As a Technical Lead with the CrowdStrike Services team, he is responsible for leading Incident Response into the most critical cybersecurity breaches at CrowdStrike customers and supporting the implementation of emerging technologies into the CrowdStrike services portfolio. Prior to joining CrowdStrike, Paul spent over 5 years in the UK where he built a global incident response practice with a leading consultancy. He also spent 3 years as a PCI forensic investigator working on major breaches in financial services including critical payment switching infrastructure and internet banking systems.
