S8|E34 Ransomware and Cisco Zero-Trust Networking

Nearly every day we can read about “ransomware” holding another organization’s data hostage, shutting their operations down, or disrupting their supply chain. Commercial enterprises, major utilities, large healthcare providers, processing facilities—even small businesses aren’t safe from being the target of these attacks. The key to preventing your organization from falling prey to ransomware is to keep several steps ahead of hackers. In many cases, the tools you need to protect your data are already available in your network. With the recent introduction of Continuous Trusted Access and the new Cisco Trust Analytics you can now secure your network from several potential attack vectors.
