Ransomware Containment: A Key Part Of Any Councils Ransomware Strategy
With the government sector experiencing an ever-increasing rate of ransomware attacks, preventative solutions are no longer sufficient. With many adopting an ‘assume breach’ policy, it’s essential to limit the damage from any attack and ensure super-fast recovery and continuation of services.
Join BullWall security experts Andrew Grant and Andy Walsh as they speak to Yunus Mayat, Enterprise Architect and Systems Services Manager, about why ransomware containment is essential to Bradford Council’s ransomware resilience plan.
We will explore the following topics:
- How and why EDRs and other preventive measures are not effective at stopping all ransomware
- How Bradford Council has adopted a multi-layered approach that includes detection, prevention, response, and recovery
- Demonstration: How Ransomware Containment responds to three live ransomware attacks
- Q&A – Ask us anything!
