How to protect your organization from ransomware transcript







0:01 Welcome to the cyber coffee talk podcast with me Dr. Heather Monthie. I help break down important topics in information security for you, the business leader, information security leader, education leader, or protective mom or dad to help you make informed decisions to protect your business, your assets, and most importantly, your family.







0:25 Regardless of your industry, cybersecurity is one of the most important issues facing us today.







0:33 Let's work together to make cyberspace a safer place.







0:39 Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Heather Monthie. In today's episode, we're going to talk about ransomware. And just kind of briefly go over what it is exactly. And talk a little bit about some of the interesting article that I found online about ransomware. And then if you are a business owner, or somebody who works in a small business in it, or cybersecurity, NIST has recently released some guidelines for pre preventing ransomware attacks or protecting yourself against ransomware attacks, I want to talk a little bit about that as well. So first, the first article that I linked to in the show notes is from threat post, it's called ransomware as new swindle, triple extortion.
