Presentation Overview

"Professional hackers around the world target YOU in attempts to gain
access to confidential information, bank accounts, and other valuable data.
Today, companies are also held hostage by ransomware, the malicious
software that locks up your files until you pay a ransom. All it takes is
one person in your organization to click on a link, and all of your shared
files could be locked up for good. We'll show you how attackers break into
your computer, with screenshots and videos of a real attack. Finally, we'll
run through the most important building blocks of a strong cybersecurity
program. Learn how to effectively defend against cybercriminals so that you
can protect yourself, your clients and your organization."
