Wednesday, September 17, 2025 | 12pm ET/ 9am PT
With Ransomware attacks forecasted to grow exponentially by 2030, the threat landscape is more aggressive, profitable, and accessible than ever for cybercriminals.
Join experts from Halcyon and DirectDefense as we break down the evolving tactics of ransomware actors and explore how to outmaneuver them at every stage.
In this 30-minute Fireside Chat, you’ll learn:
- How attackers operate, what recovery really looks like, and why paying the ransom is never a guaranteed solution.
- How DirectDefense detects and interrupts ransomware behavior before encryption begins.
- How Halcyon's post-encryption containment and rollback capabilities help clients bounce back without giving in.
- Why combining pre-encryption detection with post-encryption recovery creates true ransomware resilience.
