As ransomware-wielding attackers continue to amass victims across every sector, cybersecurity teams are scrambling to hone their defense and response capabilities. So it’s no surprise they’re increasingly embracing practices and approaches to help them better lock down their networks to minimize the impact of a successful attack. Cyber insurance is also part of many organizations’ risk-mitigation strategy. But the continuing success of ransomware as a criminal business model has led to a surge in premiums and insurers demanding more robust defenses from prospective policyholders. Accordingly, how can CISOs ensure they employ the right defenses? What “must have” capabilities are cyber insurers demanding? What is the role of multi-factor authentication, microsegmentation, secure web gateways and zero trust network access?
This invitation-only roundtable on Cybersecurity and Cyber Insurance Essentials for the Ransomware Era will provide answers to these and other critical questions. Guided by insights from Richard Meeus, Akamai’s Director of Security Technology and Strategy for EMEA, the roundtable will also draw on the experiences of the attendees, who will discuss best practices for defending against ransomware and other top cyber threats.
