UWIC Day 2, Session 3

It starts out easy enough: look for the money and make a threat. Yet, ransomware is no longer just a financial crime; it is an urgent national security risk that threatens schools, hospitals, businesses, and governments across the globe. It invades our privacy, our decency and strips us of security. And it’s accelerating. This session will examine the current state and sophistication of attacks, the emerging strategies that are deployed to outpace the threat, and first-string intelligence that demands nothing less than our total effort to mitigate the scourge.
