Why attend?
Ransomware attacks are increasingly disruptive and costly.

At this briefing, you will:
- Interrogate organisational exposure – Focus on continuity, capital impact and stakeholder confidence.
- Evaluate resilience and recovery approaches – Test the viability of response models and restoration at scale.
- Hear from senior specialists – Strategic perspectives from leaders shaping current resilience practice.

The New Battleground: Proving Clean Recovery from Ransomware
Info: In this session, Naj Husain, CEO of Elastio, will explore the latest evolution of ransomware: attacks that compromise recovery systems. Drawing on Elastio’s field research, he’ll share how more than half of organisations have seen ransomware spread into recovery environments and why traditional defences are no longer enough. He’ll present fresh 2025 intelligence on how enterprises are validating data integrity to detect advanced tactics such as zero-days, polymorphic ransomware, and intermittent encryption and to maintain clean recovery points. The discussion will highlight how resilience leaders are adapting strategies to ensure recovery remains the last line of defence.
