Send us a text


This week on Privacy Please, we open a two-part series on
Ransomware. This week the U.S. announced that it will give
ransomware hacks similar priority as terrorism.  There is a
seismic shift currently underway towards bigger ransoms for
sensitive company data.

Ransomware is an established megatrend
(https://cloudian.com/ransomware-attack-list-and-alerts/) that
has not seen a decline while continuing to reach new heights and
so we are going to dedicate time to helping our privacy pros get
up to speed on the implications this trend has in our first
episode. In episode number two of this series, we invite Matthew
Newfield, Chief Security Infrastructure Officer @ Unisys to help
our listeners push past the FUD and share actionable intelligence
on building resiliency into your data protection programs!


 Bonus: This week’s episode will be followed by a lunch
conversation on Friday at Noon est. Join us then to discuss this
topic and others.
