Chief Wine Officer and VMware invite you for a special networking event at the award-winning restaurant, Spring at Somerset House. You’ll enjoy luxury wines paired with a three-course gourmet dinner curated by the Michelin-starred chef, Skye Gyngell.
As the evening unfolds, Joseph Langford, the former Chief Data & Information Officer of Surrey and Sussex police, will lead the discussions on how the world’s most resilient enterprises are able to recover rapidly from ransomware attacks at a fraction of the usual cost. Even more, you’ll see how they’re able to identify new ransomware strains with trailblazing behaviour analysis.
92% of companies don’t regain full access to data even after paying the ransom. That’s why market leaders are adopting an as-a-service approach to recovery. They’re cutting through the limitations of traditional isolated recovery environments (IRE) and automating their recovery with a guided workflow. The result is a more streamlined, cost-effective and carbon-conscious cybersecurity.
Key discussion points
- How to overcome the limitations of traditional backup and disaster recovery solutions
- Insights from the VanEck success story: How the Dutch asset management firm built a managed IRE in under two days
- Future-proofing your organisation against newer strains of ransomware with cutting edge behaviour analysis
This event is open to 10 senior IT and cybersecurity leaders in London. Book your spot now – they go fast. And while you’re at it, why not invite a senior colleague, too?
