In this IIL claims webinar, Roddy Priestley and Peter Doherty explicitly aim to help management teams understand the decisions they may need to face in a ransomware attack and how they can best prepare the organisation.

The speakers share their experiences and observations from handling ransomware attack negotiations with various criminal groups in different jurisdictions and industry sectors.
