You'll learn about concrete steps you can take now to protect yourself or your organization from ransomware attacks.

In addition to walking you through the necessary technical preventative measures, this critical book will show you how to:

• Quickly detect an attack, limit the damage, and decide whether to pay the ransom
• Implement a pre-set game plan in the event of a game-changing security breach to help limit the reputational and financial damage
• Lay down a secure foundation of cybersecurity insurance and legal protection to mitigate the disruption to your life and business

A must-read for cyber and information security professionals, privacy leaders, risk managers, and CTOs, Ransomware Protection Playbook is an irreplaceable and timely resource for anyone concerned about the security of their, or their organization's, data.
