Battling and Preventing Ransomware: Key Steps to Safeguard Your Business

Ransomware, to pay or not to pay? In light of the recent major ransomware attack in Indonesia and the ongoing efforts to recover encrypted data, today we turn our focus to the crucial topic of organisational cybersecurity and responding to ransomware attacks with Datuk Alan See, the CEO and Co-Founder of cybersecurity firm FIRMUS.

We briefly start the conversation by touching on the recent CrowdStrike outages and their implications for organisational cyber resilience. Following that, Alan sheds light on why ransomware resilience is essential, explaining how businesses should prepare, react, and protect themselves against these attacks.

The conversation also delves into the significance of immediate response strategies, long-term cybersecurity practices, and the impact of ransomware on financial and operational aspects of businesses.
