Join MoFo’s Data Protection Masterclass Webinar to learn strategies to help prevent, respond to, and recover from a ransomware attack.

From hospitals to media companies to manufacturing plants, ransomware attacks are increasingly prevalent and have far-reaching impacts. As companies store more and more of their valuable data only in electronic form, they are increasingly more vulnerable to attacks that render their data inaccessible. In addition to data loss, these incidents present significant business and legal risks, including damage to brand and reputation, disruption of business operations, and contractual and regulatory obligations.

Join Morrison & Foerster’s John P. Carlin and Alex Iftimie, who will discuss the latest threats and emerging trends, and how businesses can prepare for and respond to such attacks.

Topics to be addressed include:

• The threat landscape for ransomware attacks and cyber extortion
• Potential actors, ranging from nation states to opportunistic criminals
• Best practices for policies and procedures to respond to extortion demands
• Considerations for whether to pay an extortion demand
• Key decisions companies must make in responding to a ransomware attack or extortion incident
