The First Decade of Corporate Ransomware

The first bitcoin-enabled ransomware attacks targeting companies were discovered in 2014. Over the past decade, ransomware has emerged as the biggest type of cybercrime. Today, the most significant organized online criminal groups are those behind ransomware operations, and there's no end in sight with new groups continually entering the fray.

In this AI Cyber Lunch, Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at WithSecure, will explore what the next decade of ransomware may look like.

Q&A to follow. Buffet-style lunch provided.
