Description

The rise of cyberattacks and ransomware, like the recent Colonial Pipeline attack, have escalated dramatically and become a critical risk for the entire economy. Targeted organizations often believe that paying the ransom is the most cost-effective way to get their data back and, unfortunately, this may be true. Recent research predicts global losses from cyberattacks to be in the area of $1 trillion for 2020, and upwards of $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. This burgeoning threat landscape makes defending your organization’s data and facilities more critical than ever. But where do you start? This week, Realcomm Live speaks with Lucian Niemeyer, national security expert and CEO of The Niemeyer Group, and Billy Rios, Founder of WhiteScope and one of the world's most respected experts on emerging threats related to software security, Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Critical Infrastructure (CI), and medical devices. These two cybersecurity experts will share their insight and important defense takeaways to help building owners and operators assess vulnerabilities and protect their organizations from cyberterrorism.
