Remaining Ransom Aware
Ransomware, among the most intimidating threats on today’s security horizon, is an issue best approached from a “not if but when” perspective. It’s no longer enough to bolster your defenses. Today’s CISO should know what to do when one gets past the goalie.
We’ll discuss:
- Defensive practices for those hoping to avoid a ransomware attack
- Practical steps for those who find themselves in a ransomware situation
- The pros and cons you’ll need to weigh when choosing whether to pay

Mustapha Kebbeh
Brinks
Chief Information Security Officer CISO
As Chief Information Security Officer for a global enterprise, I head vision and strategy for all IT cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, and IT enterprise architecture impacting 75,000 employees around the world. My goal is to protect information data and technologies from actual and potential threats, both internal and external to the organization.
My strength involves continually fortifying corporate security through standardization, training, and innovative technology to empower employees on all levels. Through my efforts, I have helped Brinks, IBM, Vodaphone, and CompuCom safeguard their IT infrastructure and mitigate risk from malicious hackers, human error, and general security gaps.
Key factors include bringing in the right talent, building a culture of security-minded personnel, and getting everyone involved. It’s also critical to think about the business from more than a security viewpoint by selecting tools and technology to drive revenue and business growth as well as system protection.
