Session Overview

The question is no longer whether you’ll face a serious incident but how quickly you can recover. With ransomware attacks increasing in volume and sophistication, this session addresses the full lifecycle from prevention through to containment and recovery. We examined the critical importance of immutable backups, tested recovery procedures, and the often-overlooked challenge of Active Directory restoration
