Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast, brought to you by Rubrik Zero Labs. In each installment, we discuss cybersecurity with thought leaders and industry experts, and get their take on trends, themes, and where they see the sector going next. This is a must-listen for security and IT leaders looking to better understand trends shaping data security and how they can achieve cyber resilience.
We're excited to continue with our series of special episodes featuring highlights from the recent Rubrik Zero Labs Virtual Summit. This series offers a unique look into the critical conversations happening around data security.
Steve Stone is taking on a different role in these special episodes. Instead of guiding us through our usual discussions, he'll be leading in-depth conversations with industry experts.
In the second episode, we’re exploring the cost of unpreparedness to businesses in the face of ransomware attacks. Steve is joined by Heather Hughes, the Vice President of Engagement Management at Aon Cyber Solutions. Join them as they discuss misconceptions surrounding breaches, the need for tools such as multi-factor authentication and endpoint detection and response, as well as reliable and recoverable backups, and the importance of proactive measures and investment in cybersecurity.
Heather brings over twenty-five years experience in privacy, data security and cyber security to her role as Vice President of Engagement Management at Aon Cyber Solutions. She is also a frequent speaker and author on HIPAA privacy and security, ransomware and cyber best practices.
