A ransomware attack can devastate an organization’s operations, finances and reputation. The victims of these attacks don’t only face the threat of losing all of their data but also of that data being made public or sold to other malicious actors. 

In this presentation, we will take you through the anatomy of a ransomware attack, showing you what a hacker sees and giving you the opportunity to consider the decisions faced by victim organizations in discussion with S-RM’s experienced cyber incident responders. 

 
 
 

The Anatomy of a Ransomware Attack

 
 

Wednesday, January 13, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. ET

 
 

Discussion points:

  • How threat actors typically gain access to their targets’ digital environments, launch a stage two attack, move laterally throughout the network and deploy malicious payloads to various endpoints and servers.
  • Recovery options and what negotiations with these threat actors actually look like in practice.
  • Post-incident investigations, and how to figure out the who, what, when, where and how of the attack to determine whether or not the threat actor accessed or exfiltrated any data.
