At 6am, Rashid Ahmed -- the CISO of Velocity Group USA -- received the call no one wants to receive: the entire filesystem was encrypted and held for ransom. He joins Tech Done Different to walk us through how he was able to not only avoid paying the ransom, but had the system back up and running in less than 4 hours!

You'll learn:

-why it matters for all levels of an organization to understand security
-why not only do backups matter, but also the frequency matters too
-how to think about the cost-benefit tradeoff of more regular backups
-what things impact the speed to recovery from a ransomware incident
-why dialogue with leadership and the broader business matters
