360° Ransomware Response: Detection, Negotiation, Recovery, and Prevention

Learn to respond to ransomware effectively and efficiently. In this hands-on boot camp, we'll show you a comprehensive approach to ransomware response, covering key aspects such as early detection, negotiation tactics, and decryption challenges. We'll analyze the latest ransomware strains and learn about evolving detection strategies. Then we'll delve into core elements of the initial response: triage, evidence preservation, scoping, containment and mitigation. We'll study the decryption process, including infected decryptors, double-encryption issues, and other common challenges. You'll learn practical ransom negotiation tactics and gain insights on the business impacts and communication strategies that will help you effectively support legal teams, public relations and more throughout the response. Hands-on labs are included throughout the class. Each student gets 90 days of free access to the Ransomware Virtual Laboratory. Along the way, we'll take students full circle and point out effective technical measures that block attackers and prevent ransomware deployment.
