The Cost of Doing Nothing: A Ransomware Backup Story

Once again, I had the chance to present on the topic of ransomware with Redmond Magazine, as this continues to be a hot topic! Quest software’s John O’Boyle and I did what we could to summarize the current state of ransomware in a Microsoft-based environment and provide real-life experiences and advice for dealing with this type of malware. While we had a great turnout, I’m sure some of you missed it, so I invite you to view the offline recording below:

The Cost of Doing Nothing: A Ransomware Backup Story

Do You Need Built-in or Bolt-on Security for Office 365?

This week I had a chance to meet with Mimecast’s Strategic Technical Consultant and fellow Microsoft MVP J. Peter Bruzzese to discuss the need or possible lack thereof 3rd party add-on solutions to Office 365 in a webcast this week. This is familiar territory to both J. Peter and I so we had no trouble jumping right into a lively discussion!

Preventing and Mitigating Ransomware Infections

Today I had a chance to interview the accomplished author and founder of KnowBe4, Stu Sjouwerman on the subject of Ransomware. Stu shared some great insight and real world experiences in dealing with ransomware outbreaks and the realities we’re faced with (e.g. actually paying the ransom).
