Security is less about technology than it is about education and having a plan.

Ernest Staats will discuss what your facility should do to prepare and prevent a ransomware attack. Planning and prevention is key to maintaining your security, starting with having a team and creating a plan. He will provide best practices staff should implement, including business strategies, back‐up and testing procedures, using anti-malware, software updates, user restrictions, and training, and retraining, of staff. Mr. Staats will go on to describe what can be done should your facility be faced with an actual security breach, including initial assessment, determination of the scope of the breach and strain, and finally, various response options.
