About the session:
The State of Ransomware: Ransomware has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, disrupting organizations worldwide with costly recovery efforts and prolonged downtime. The most successful operations are organized like legitimate businesses role specialization. Attackers also increasingly use advanced techniques once reserved for nation-state operations, exploiting gaps in security stacks to easily bypass traditional defenses. With attacks accelerating in scale and sophistication, ransomware remains one of the most urgent challenges facing modern enterprises today and into the future.
