There can be no denying that ransomware has had a significant and increasing impact on organizations of all sizes across multiple industries.  With a reported average of 16 days of downtime and an average payment of $84,000 last year, ransomware was the second most common malware incident type and the third most common breach type.  Financial institutions are among the most targeted for ransomware, but no industry is immune.  In October of 2020, the Ransomware Security Assessment Tool (R-SAT) was released to give financial institutions another tool in their arsenal to identify gaps in their information security postures that could leave them susceptible to ransomware attacks.  However, even though the R-SAT was developed as an aid for the financial industry it can be applied to most other industries.  Please join us for a look at the R-SAT, and plan to come away with some additional actions you can take that may help prevent ransomware from ever entering your network.
