Ransomware Awareness, Anxiety About Response Running High

Thanks to SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, Kaseya and other high-profile attacks, ransomware awareness is at an all-time high. But that leaves the question of how best to address it.

At our recent Channel Partners Conference & Expo, we conducted roundtables with channel experts addressing hot topics in areas such as cybersecurity, cloud and MSPs.

Ransomware awareness and prevention were among hot topics addressed during our roundtable with cybersecurity experts.

Panelists included:

Rauch said ransomware awareness is so high that security vendors no longer need to advertise. That’s because partners and their customers are well aware of the threat and are actively seeking protection.

Katz said educating the end customer is important, while Norton said partners need all the help they can get in initiating a security narrative.
