Ransomware: Today's Cyber Weapon of Choice
This year, ransomware groups have gone after it all: the fuel supply chain, the meat supply chain, the IT management supply chain. They have also targeted many other organizations. We can no longer think of these as individual cyberattacks. Instead, Col. Leighton says we must think of them as a broader strategy that our digital adversaries use against us. And they are leveraging multiple attack vectors to do so. Join this keynote to look at the actors, the motivations, and the steps both governments and private industry might take to mitigate risk from today's cyber weapon of choice.
