Ransomware incidents are on the rise, specifically due to expanding and complex network configurations. Not only are the incidents costly, monetarily and timewise, but also lead to long-term impacts on the nation’s critical infrastructure.

This video podcast describes some best practices that can assist in preventing incidents on a network and mitigate the risk in case of a cyber attack.
