Ransomware Costs vs. Cloud SIEM - Blumira's Security Advisor Series

Written by Erica Mixon | Feb 1, 2021 6:20:20 PM


Ransomware continues its relentless rampage across all industries. In 2021, the total global ransomware costs associated with data recovery are projected to exceed $20 billion (Cybercrime Magazine).

The total impact of a ransomware attack on a company can result in lost revenue due to downtime, damage to your reputation, legal and compliance fines, as well as investigation and remediation costs.

Join Blumira's VP of Product, Jim Simpson, and VP of Ops, Patrick Garrity as they cover the cost-benefit analysis of a ransomware breach vs. investment in a cloud SIEM.

In this roundtable, they'll discuss:

  • How the average time to detect and contain a breach can affect costs
  • How an automated detection & response platform can reduce risk and prevent a breach
  • The different types of attacks leading up to ransomware infection, and how to identify them
