Ransomware Threats: Webcast Offers Protection Strategies
Ransomware threats continue to pose significant challenges to businesses, prompting entrepreneurs to reevaluate their security measures and strategies. In response, COMPUTERWOCHE, in collaboration with Sophos, presents a free webcast to analyze typical ransomware tactics and provide protective measures.
The webcast, hosted by journalist Dr. Tomas Hafen, explores the evolving nature of ransomware attacks, which are becoming increasingly targeted and taking longer to recover from. Despite a decrease in average recovery costs to $1.53 million in 2025, a 44% drop from 2024, the impact on organizations remains substantial.
Michael Veit, a security expert at Sophos, emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity strategies. He highlights the benefits of investing in managed detection and response (MDR) services to bolster defenses. The webcast demonstrates how to detect ransomware attacks early and minimize their impact, with a focus on the role of Artificial Intelligence in threat detection. It also underscores the necessity of incident response plans and provides strategic recommendations for IT and security managers to safeguard their businesses.
The COMPUTERWOCHE Webcast, in partnership with Sophos, offers valuable insights and practical guidance for IT and security managers to combat the persistent threat of ransomware. With free registration, it serves as an essential resource for businesses seeking to strengthen their security posture in the face of evolving cyber threats.
