Why Attending an Assured Save the Data Event Might Be the Best Thing You Do This Year

BY Rob Mackle

Despite the combined efforts of industry, governments, and law enforcement, ransomware remains an ever-present threat and one that’s unlikely to subside any time in the foreseeable future.

The 2025 Munich Security Report identifies cyberattacks as the fourth greatest global risk in aggregate, ranking among the top three risks in the US, the UK, and Canada. As one ransomware gang is neutralized, another emerges to take its place, in a constant game of whack-a-mole. 

As a cybersecurity professional, you’ve almost certainly established protocols and procedures for ransomware attacks and implemented robust cybersecurity measures. It’s likely that you also have backup and disaster recovery capabilities and that you do your best to stay on top of emerging threats. Given the scale and complexity of the problem, though, how can you be sure that’s enough?

You can never be too prepared for a ransomware or other form of cyberattack. That’s why Assured is holding a Save The Data Live Ransomware Simulation & Workshop at the upcoming DRJ Spring 2025 conference.

Our Save The Data Workshops give unparalleled insights into the anatomy of a cyberattack, allowing you to gain firsthand experience managing a real-world ransomware attack and learn how to assess, contain, and recover quickly.

Led by Stacy Hayes, Co-founder & EVP, the Workshop will take place on Sunday, March 23rd, from 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM at the DRJ Spring Event in Orlando.

Why you should attend:

  • Take your understanding of the risks and recovery from a cyberattack to the next level.
  • Explore the full impact of an attack on infrastructure.
  • Discover the importance of having a good handle on data classification.
  • Learn about the global impact of a cyber event from regulatory and operational perspectives.
  • Uncover your potential hidden vulnerabilities to a cyberattack.
  • Gain new insights and be more prepared on how to respond and recover from a cyberattack.
  • Learn more about the serious financial implications of a cyber event.

Commenting on a past Save The Data Workshop, the Head of IT Commercial Management at Royal Holloway University of London, said, “I found the Save The Data session a real value add; walking through a real-life scenario, weighing up the risks and financial impact of every decision a customer would make and having an experienced CISO offer insight at every step made it a very worthwhile session.”

Assured will also be at Booths #301 and #303 throughout the DRJ conference. We encourage you to visit and engage with our team to explore how we can assist in developing a robust disaster recovery strategy, ensuring seamless recovery from any cyberattack, disaster, or data loss event.
