Written by Joseph Carson | Mar 6, 2024 11:00:00 AM

What do public sector organizations need to know about ransomware trends, identity-based attacks, and incident response? Hear from Dan Lohrmann, Field CISO for the public sector at Presidio and co-author of Cyber Mayday and the Day After: A Leader's Guide to Preparing, Managing, and Recovering from Inevitable Business Disruptions. He and Joe discuss the reasons for ransomware’s decline in 2022 and subsequent acceleration in 2023, as threat agents leverage AI, social engineering, data exfiltration, and ransomware-as-a-service techniques. Dan shares the background of recent ransomware incidents that have impacted state, local, and educational organizations in Texas, Florida, and Michigan. You’ll get tactical recommendations on how to test your incident response plan with best practices for tabletop exercises and emergency communications.
