Get up to speed on what today’s ransomware attacks are all about-through a detail simulation led by Commvault security experts-and discover how to detect attacks early and stop the meltdown from happening to you.
It's a normal workday and the computers at your global offices stop working as applications and systems running on your network shut down. Employee’s pass-cards stop working, the phones are down, the lights go out and operations grind to a halt.
Experience a cyber-attack along with an intimate group of your peers. You will be assigned a role on the leadership team of a pseudo company working through the critical hours of a ransomware negotiation. You’ll be faced with challenges and critical decision points as you participate in a “choose your own adventure,” action packed 2 hour agenda that has a crafted story pulled directly from today’s news headlines of known network breaches that have hit some of the biggest companies globally this past year.
How confident are you in your company’s disaster recovery plan? Can it protect your company’s data, your customer and employee private data? Can you get your systems up and running? What risk does your organization face?
You’ll be guided through your journey by Commvault Security experts, and you will leave with an actionable toolkit and recommendations to review against your own company’s disaster recovery plan.
Our goal is to make you and your fellow attendees simulate being the center of a unique, complex story that is ripped from today’s news headlines. You’ll have 2 hours to navigate the cyber-attack demands and determine the next steps to save your company’s data and get your business up and running.
Agenda:
11:00 am – 12:15 pm Arrival and registration (lunch will be served)
12:15 pm – 12:30 pm Welcome & learn about your role for the workshop
12:30 pm – 2:00 pm Over the next 90 minutes, you will experience a cyber security attack against your pseudo company, you and the fellow members of your leadership team will navigate the decisions you’ll need to make at critical negotiation stages.
2:00 pm – 2:30 pm Recap, networking, and enjoying the best views in Pittsburgh
