Ransomware remained a dominant threat to enterprises in many different geographic regions and business verticals during 2020. Undeterred by the global pandemic, these actors inflicted a cruel toll on many organizations by extorting, leaking, and selling stolen data from their intrusions. This session will explore the ransomware threat landscape of 2020 and assess what is in store in the coming year.

RSA® Conference, the world’s leading information security conferences and expositions, concluded its 30th annual event, which took place as a fully virtual experience this week. This year’s theme was Resilience, and in honor of all that the cybersecurity industry has accomplished over the past three decades, offered a must-attend celebration of thought leadership and education.
