By now you’ve probably heard of how the REvil ransomware hacked Kaseya’s servers, encrypting and holding ransom over 1,000,000 business computer systems and demanding over $70 million to release them. Since these systems were encrypted by no fault of the business owners themselves, but through a supply chain attack, the real question is: what can be done if and when this happens to you?
Jay Fidell and I did a very special episode on this – walking through the timeline of this supply chain attack and steps every business can take to be more resilient. I hope it can be of help to you and your organization.
Details on the “whistleblowers” I mention during the interview can be found at: Bloomberg: Kaseya Failed to Address Security Before Hack, Ex-Employees Say
