Ransomware Response: On-Demand, Virtual Ransomware Training Class Teaches IT Pros Ransomware Triage, Response & Remediation

Ransomware is an epidemic; this ransomware response training class teaches IT professionals to be prepared before disaster strikes! In the blink of an eye, everything from your financial records to emails to file shares have been encrypted, possibly never to be seen again. This is the nightmare that organizations around the world have faced as they grapple with the most destructive and terrifying of all cyberattacks.

Today, ransomware is often the last stage of a data breach, launched by criminals after they have already stolen massive volumes of data. Exposure threats are on the rise, as criminals threaten to publish data if they don’t receive their payment. What makes this ransomware class different? It’s taught by industry expert Matt Durrin who has extensive hands-on ransomware response, research, and remediation experience.

This popular ransomware response training class teaches you how to respond to ransomware quickly and effectively to minimize damage. Available on-demand and on your schedule, this ransomware class will show you modern ransomware strains in action, including videos and screenshots, and point out key indicators that can facilitate early detection. Then we’ll delve into the core elements of ransomware response: triage, evidence preservation, scoping, negotiation, decryption, and more. Finally, we’ll discuss whether ransomware is also a data breach, and how to handle potentially long-term consequences.

What our Students Say

"The amount of detailed information about a ransomware attack with guidance and recommendations at each level is great. The real-world examples of past cases, as well as the labs to demonstrate response and potential examples of what an attack could look like. This was very valuable information as we are currently working on enhancing our IR and DR plans and strategies by working with our responsible teams, as well as with planned tabletop exercises in the future."
