Ransomware has become a systemic business risk. In the era of Ransomware 3.0, attackers combine AI, identity abuse, SaaS control-plane compromise, and regulatory pressure to force executive decisions and extend operational disruption. Even organisations with mature security programmes are finding that traditional detection, backup, and response models fail under real attack conditions.

 

Based on front-line incident response, this session will break down what is actually working for CISOs today, from AI-assisted threat and decision analysis to cyber vaults, clean-room recovery, identity-led containment, and pre-authorised response models. Attendees will leave with practical design choices for managing ransomware as a board-level risk and restoring control under legal, regulatory, and operational pressure.
