What to do in the age of the critical breach. Why the triple threat of ransomware, data breaches, and extortion is a cybersecurity crisis. The UK government could be forgiven for wanting to forget March 2024 ever happened. MPs lambasted its response to attacks created by the cyber-espionage group APT31 as feeble, derisory, and "sadly insufficient". This was coupled with a damning review by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) which concluded that the resilience of the country's critical national infrastructure is less than it should be. It's not just the government that should be worried – cyber security threats impact every organisation. Join our live Regcast on 29 April at 11am BST/6am EDT/3am PDT as Tim Phillips and Rubrik CISO Richard Cassidy explore ways that we can mitigate the impact of attacks and learn how to recover quickly with minimum disruption to operational capacity or data integrity. Tim and Richard will discuss the scale of the triple threat – ransomware, data breaches and extortion - and its contribution to a present-day cyber security crisis. If you can understand its evolution, intricacies, and the implications for your business, you have everything you need to rethink your strategy for tackling it.

NATION STATE ACTIVITY // UK Criticized for Inadequate Response to Cyber Espionage

The UK government faced intense criticism in March 2024 for its insufficient response to cyber-attacks by the espionage group APT31.

A National Cyber Security Centre review highlighted that the UK's critical infrastructure is underprepared for cyber threats.

The critique stems from a broader context of escalating ransomware attacks, data breaches, and cyber extortion affecting global organizations.

Upcoming webinar hosted by Rubrik featuring Tim Phillips and CISO Richard Cassidy aims to address strategies for mitigating cyberattacks.

The discussion will focus on understanding the evolution and complexities of the cybersecurity crisis to help businesses refine their defensive strategies.

The webinar is scheduled for April 29, aiming to equip participants with knowledge to enhance operational resilience and data integrity post-attack.
