Ransomware attacks continue to evolve in sophistication and impact, affecting organizations of all sizes across state and local government, education, small business, and enterprise sectors. This webinar brings together cybersecurity experts to help you build a comprehensive defense strategy that goes beyond basic security hygiene.

Join us as we explore the critical factors that determine whether your organization can withstand a ransomware attack or becomes another statistic. We'll examine real-world scenarios and practical approaches to prevention, from network segmentation and backup architecture to user awareness and access controls. You'll learn what attackers look for when selecting targets and how to eliminate those vulnerabilities from your environment.

Beyond prevention, we'll walk through proven incident response frameworks tailored to your organization's size and resources. You'll discover how to make critical decisions under pressure, coordinate your response team, and maintain business continuity when systems go down. We'll also cover the often-overlooked aspects of recovery, including data restoration validation and post-incident analysis.

The session includes a detailed guide to designing and conducting tabletop exercises that actually prepare your team for real incidents. You'll leave with templates and methodologies you can implement immediately, turning theoretical knowledge into practiced muscle memory for your security and leadership teams.

Whether you're building your first incident response plan or refining an existing program, this webinar provides actionable strategies you can adapt to your specific environment and threat landscape.
