Stronger or Still at Risk?
Many businesses believe paying a ransom ends the crisis. That decision often marks just the beginning of deeper challenges.
You decided to pay the ransom.
Your systems are back online.
But your toughest battles? They’re only just beginning.
Customers are watching. Regulators are asking questions. Attackers know you’ll pay again.
Twelve months later, your business looks very different.

You’ll sit in the war room as leaders wrestle with the fallout, from the first days of “recovery” to the slow burn of reputational damage, compliance risk and future attacks.

This webinar is built from real attack patterns and breach outcomes in the UK.

Paying doesn’t end the story. It sets the stage for the next one. This webinar shows you how to survive it.
