This presentation will cover how ransomware techniques and attacks have changed, the business model behind the attacks, and how they are impacting all sectors and industries around the world, including Australia.
Why attend?
ESET Australia will be covering the latest ransomware techniques and attacks seen around the world. Payment of ransoms internationally is driving an increase in cybercrime and giving resources to cybercriminals that will fuel further attacks on companies and governments alike. Tony will discuss why paying a ransom is not the right course of action, and the need to regulate cryptocurrency on a global basis.
