RANSOMWARE RESIILIENCE STRATEGIES FOR GOVERNMENT: SAFEGUARDING CRITICAL IT SYSTEMS FROM MODERN THREATS
Ransomware attacks can disrupt essential services, compromise sensitive data, and erode public trust. Despite increased investment in cybersecurity, government agencies continue to be prime targets due to outdated infrastructure, limited resources, and the ever-evolving tactics of cybercriminals. Join experienced government professionals as they share their firsthand experiences with ransomware, revealing how they fortified defenses, secured budget approval, and navigated complex regulatory landscapes to minimize future risks.
In this session, we will uncover:
- The true impact of ransomware on public services and citizens, and why prevention alone isn’t enough.
- How government organizations can strengthen their defenses, secure budget approval, and align with regulatory requirements.
- Real-world examples of overcoming security breaches and practical advice for enhancing cybersecurity posture.
