Cyber attacks are a serious risk for any business. This webinar will increase your awareness of cyber risks involved with owning and operating a small business; and we will recommend actions that should be taken to mitigate those risks. (Duration 1 hour)

You’ve likely heard the term “ransomware” in the news, but what is it? Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts your ability to access and use critical business data and applications. Imagine trying to log into your email, your finances, or an HR system only to find that the application you use every day is no longer available to you. Instead, you are presented with a screen requesting thousands of dollars to restore functionality. That could be tremendously disruptive to your small business. How long could your business operate without access to critical data or systems? 

Ransomware is a very serious and increasingly common threat to organizations of all sizes, and it is particularly devastating to smaller organizations that have limited resources. A successful ransomware attack can stop your business in its tracks. 

During this NIST small business cybersecurity webinar, we will convene a panel to highlight:

• Common ways ransomware is delivered to businesses. 
• Challenges small businesses face with ransomware.
• Common signs of a ransomware attack. 
• What steps to take if your business falls victim to a ransomware attack.
• What role cyber liability insurance plays in ransomware risk management.
• Steps small businesses can take, and free resources you can use, to reduce your likelihood of falling victim to ransomware.

Panelists:

• Bill Fisher, Security Engineer, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
• Nick Lozano, Director of Technology, The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers
• Stephanie Walker, Assistant Section Chief of the Cyber Engagement and Intelligence Section, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Ann Westerheim, Ph.D. Founder and President, Ekaru 

Moderator:
