Title: Ransomware Reality Check: Busting Cybersecurity Myths

Date: Thursday, July 17, 2025

Time: 11:00am SGT

Duration: 1 hour

The ransomware landscape is riddled with dangerous assumptions. Are your security decisions based on facts or fiction?

In this compelling expert discussion, KnowBe4's cybersecurity veterans Javvad Malik and Erich Kron go head-to-head to analyse the most controversial questions organisations face when dealing with ransomware threats. Through evidence-based analysis and real-world case studies, they'll cut through the noise and deliver clarity on the questions that matter most.

Join us as our experts debate:

  • Under what circumstances, if any, should organisations consider paying the ransom?

  • Should you be investing your resources in prevention technologies or robust recovery systems?

  • Do mandatory ransom payment disclosures help or harm the broader security landscape?

  • What potential legal consequences await organisations that make ransom payments?

  • Is hiring reformed hackers brilliant strategy or unnecessary risk?

This session will challenge your assumptions about ransomware and provide insights to strengthen your defence strategy. Plus, you’ll earn CPE credit for attending!
