The pace and impact of cyberattacks on government and critical infrastructure IT systems have accelerated over the past several years. Malware inserted into software platforms and widely distributed to customers; ransomware attacks taking down hospitals and local governments; hacks endangering water systems – all of these and many more show that our systems are under siege.

 

Join us for these five one-hour webinars spread over five days, as thought leaders from government at all levels and the contracting community focus each day on a specific aspect of the cyber threat environment and ways to more effectively respond and protect their most valuable assets – their data and IT systems.


Day 2: Ransomware     

Ransomware cyberattacks vaulted into public awareness with a vengeance when an East Coast gasoline pipeline shut down for days, causing a shortage and long lines at the gas pump when drivers panicked. But hospitals, schools and local governments have been dealing with ransomware threats for some time.

 

The federal government takes the threat seriously. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in the Department of Homeland Security, has a dedicated web page that provides educational information, resources, and a reporting link, devoted to the topic.

 

Join us as thought leaders from all levels of government and industry discuss their own efforts to combat ransomware and strengthen their system protections against it.
