AIMA APAC Webinar: Cyber security x Ransomware

Written by Editorial Team | Dec 27, 2021 7:13:08 PM

On January 18th, Kurtis Minder, GroupSense CEO, will join AIMA for their APAC Webinar: Cyber security x Ransomware: Squid Games Edition.

About the Event:

Like the players in Squid Game, organizations responding to a ransomware incident must make many (“live-or-die”) difficult bet-the-firm decisions often with little reaction time which have long term ramifications and significant impact. There are times when you feel you’re stepping on a glass bridge where a wrong step could mean death (of critical stakeholder relationships such as investors, regulators or law enforcement agencies).

Participate in a cyber drill which aims to improve your ability to respond to a high impact security event. The main scenario will be a ransomware attack that involves encryption of data affecting operations and the exfiltration of sensitive data.

The highlights of the drill include:

  • A simulated security event which will escalate into a crisis level event
  • Multi-jurisdictional reporting decisions
  • Negotiation with ransomware attacker

Event Details:

China/HongKong/Singapore 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Japan 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Sydney/Melbourne 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
