IoT Ransomware—We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet (or Have We?)


Posted on in Presentations

Ransomware is pervasive, annoying, dangerous and expensive. It has even developed a life cycle from a few ill-chosen clicks to a bunch of encrypted files, ending with a desperate payment in Bitcoin to get them back. Get ready for a new ransomware pattern where nobody does anything wrong or naughty, the target is not files but IoT devices like X-ray machines, and human lives hang in the balance.

Learning Objectives:
1: Learn about coming realities of IoT ransomware.
2: Learn concrete ways to avoid or mitigate IoT ransomware.
3: Understand the value of cross-sector collaboration to combat IoT ransomware.
