Defend Against Ransomware Attacks (IR109)
CISA is proud to offer the cybersecurity awareness webinar, Defend Against Ransomware Attacks (IR109). We are excited to share this information with stakeholders across the federal enterprise and nationally.
This webinar is intended for a non-technical audience and beginning incident responders.
Ransomware attacks hit a new target every 14 seconds—shutting down digital operations, stealing information and exploiting businesses, essential services, and individuals alike. This one-hour webinar provides essential knowledge and reviews real-life examples of these attacks to help you and your organization to mitigate and respond to the ever-evolving threat of ransomware.
This webinar includes the following information and more:

- Key Guidance for organizations: CISA provides guidance for how to mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks and recover in the event of an attack.
- Case studies: Explore the methods and impacts of real-life cyber-attacks, and how the victims responded and recovered.
