Ransomware is an ever-evolving cyber security threat. Threat actors are constantly improving their attack strategies to stay one step ahead of the latest data security defensive techniques. Join NFP and Kivu, a leading ransomware services and data forensics firm, for an in-depth look at current ransomware trends, claims and case data and how best to protect your organization. Kivu’s own deputy general counsel will also provide an update on current OFAC advisories on the legalities surrounding making a ransom payment.

Protecting your organization, employees and clients is important, but how about your children and families? Another good defense to future threats is to raise cyber smart kids. That’s why we’re offering the first 100 registrants a free copy of The Super Smart Cyber Guide for Kids, a book by award-winning author Ellen Sabin that engages children ages 6 – 12 in developing smart habits for the digital age. The book combines educational narrative, conversation starters and hands-on activities that will help adults encourage children to learn important building blocks for online safety.
