Overview

Ransomware is a growing concern for everyone, enterprises as well as individuals. As cyber criminals continue to mutate ransomware, most protection mechanisms fail to detect new variants, leaving us to rely on data backups and the hope that we won't fall victim.

Join our webinar with Uri Sternfeld, Cybereason Senior Security Researcher, and Jake Williams, SANS Instructor, to learn about a new effective approach for defending against never-before-seen ransomware variants.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• A recent analysis of ransomware families, and their traits.


• Emerging ransomware types, such as fileless ransomware


• The limitations of current ransomware detection techniques


• A new approach, using behavioral analytics, to protect your data against differing types of ransomware
