218 You're Not Really Ready for Ransomware

Joining us this week is Ryan Chapman, Principal Incident Response & Forensics Consultant at Blackberry.  Our conversation centers on his belief that most organizations aren’t nearly as prepared for a ransomware incident as they think they are, a belief that has been formed from countless engagements with groups who found out the hard way that their backups have issues, or their overall incident response plan comes up short. We explore the spectrum of reasons why that may be so, and discuss practical ways for security professionals to balance their organization’s resources with their appetite for risk.
