Description
Session Description:
 
Presented by Kaspersky Labs North America - Your screen freezes. A dialogue box pops up. It says that your computer is locked, and your files will all be gone forever … unless you pay up.
 
Since many victims are willing to pay the ransom, this type of cryptomalware continues to rise, netting millions of dollars for cybercriminals looking for a substantial return on their minimal investment.
 
During this session, Kaspersky Lab’s Mark Villinski will take you behind the front lines of cybersecurity to provide insights into this growing area of focus for vendors and cybercriminals alike.  
 
Areas of focus:
  • Awareness of common ransomware scenarios and delivery mechanisms
  • Ransomware trends you need to know—before it’s too late
  • Ways you can avoid becoming ransomware’s next victim
