Why attend?
Ransomware attacks are increasingly disruptive and costly.

At this briefing, you will:

• Interrogate organisational exposure – Focus on continuity, capital impact and stakeholder confidence.
• Evaluate resilience and recovery approaches – Test the viability of response models and restoration at scale.
• Hear from senior specialists – Strategic perspectives from leaders shaping current resilience practice.
• Engage with peers – Assess approaches, benchmarks and lessons learned across organisations.
