Description
Total length of the course: <1 hour
Ransomware has persisted as one of the most disruptive cyber threats for over a decade, surviving takedowns, sanctions, and international coordination efforts. In this conversation, hear from law enforcement practitioners, policymakers, and researchers on what it actually takes to pursue ransomware actors, what operations like Cronos and Endgame have and have not achieved, and whether the policy toolkit, from crypto regulation and ransom bans to international treaties, is anywhere near up to the task.
