SUMMARY:Uncovering the Cybersecurity Landscape and How to Reduce Your Organization's Cyber Risk Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In Arctic Wolf’s 2023 Trends Report\, we learned that almost half of all organizations are hit by ransomware. And of those hit 74% paid the ransom\, either the full amount\, a negotiated lower amount\, or payment through an insurance company. All this to say\, ransomware isn’t going anywhere. While the incidents at large organizations make the headlines\, small/medium businesses are becoming an increasingly enticing target\, due to what cybercriminals expect to be unsecured\, unpatched\, or undefended systems. And\, when they’re right\, the damage is costly. \nJoin Sikich and Arctic Wolf on February 22\, 2024 at 10am CT as our security experts explore: \n\nHow together Sikich and Arctic Wolf can reduce your organization’s cyber risk\nHow Sikich and Arctic Wolf can reduce your cyber insurance premiums\nHow security operations mitigate the dwell time\, downtime\, and cost of cyberattacks\nEducation for business leadership on risk reduction\n\nRegister now!
