Augenbaum said, “Having worked in the FBI’s Cyber Division, we handled all types of attack vectors and preventative measures. Moving from a proactive to a pre-emptive cybersecurity posture provides the only path to kill the ransomware chain and preventing and stopping catastrophic compromises.”

“At Microsoft, we used best practices and good cyber-hygiene as an important part of the protection both internally and for our customers,” said Jim DuBois. “Today, ransomware attacks are more persistent, more prevalent, and substantially more damaging than in the past. The world needs to adopt solutions and practices to improve protection by moving them from good cyber-hygiene into superior cyber-hygiene.”

Rob Pike, Founder and CEO of Cyemptive said, “We are excited to have two world class speakers review their experiences and contrast the differences from what worked in the past against the new threats the world is facing today. We are confident that Cyemptive can move organizations into a pre-emptive, superior cyber-hygiene posture and we look forward to what secrets Scott and Jim reveal to our audience.”
