What do bedbugs and ransomware attacks have in common? Two things: they both sneak their way in, and they both need to be dealt with in a thought-out and methodical manner.

Fortunately, proper planning and remaining calm can go a long way to a successful recovery. In this session, we will draw parallels while covering the initial identification of the problem, the steps taken to quarantine and mitigate the spread, and the eventual remediation and recovery process.

By drawing similarities between data resiliency and a real-world bed bug infestation, we aim to provide a unique perspective on the importance of preparedness, quick response, and thorough recovery in both physical and digital environments. Attendees will gain insights into practical strategies for managing unexpected threats and ensuring resilience in the face of adversity.
