Why Incident Response Needs are Surging Amidst New Cyber Threats

Why Incident Response Needs are Surging Amidst New Cyber Threats

If 2021 was the year of Ransomware then 2022 definitely should be called the year of DeFi hacks. What I’m wondering is there any chance that 2023 can be the year Cyber Security teams take their revenge?  

In this episode, Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) is joined by two experts from the Cyber Risk team at Kroll, Christopher Ballod (Managing Director) and Jaycee Roth (Associate Managing Director) about this possibility.

Chris and Jaycee walk us through the last 18 months of cyber incidents and ransomware and highlight the changing ransomware attack vectors and changes in the cyber insurance markets. We also learn that companies are getting better at protecting themselves and are becoming less likely to pay ransoms. 

* It is noted that Kroll is a Chainalysis partner.
