RESERVE YOUR SPOT

Earlier this year saw one of the most devastating ransomware attacks in history that shutdown the Colonial Pipeline and crippled oil and gas delivery across the East Coast of the United States. These impacts brought the topic of ransomware to the forefront for industry, government, and the average American. It also highlighted how potentially vulnerable our nation's critical infrastructure is to cyber attacks from not just state sponsored actors, but criminal adversaries as well.

Also, in response to this attack, and the growing prevalence of ransomware attacks generally, the President of the United States signed into law an Executive Order designed to improve the nation's cyber security through so-called bold changes, including proactive threat hunting, better information sharing, and improved technical capabilities. 

 

But does it go far enough?

 

Join us for an interactive and lively panel discussion featuring Dave Amsler of Cyborg Security, Anuj Goel of Cyware, and Jim Linn of the American Gas Association as they discuss the short and long term effects of the DarkSide attack on industry, what the new Executive Order means for government and businesses, what strategies organizations can use to improve their resilience, and much more!
