About this session
This 47-second clip is not a talk. Ron Dekker, Country Leader for Check Point Software Canada, records a short welcome message from Montréal ahead of GoSec 2021. He says Check Point is taking part as a titanium sponsor, plays on the word titanium (durable, strong, light) to describe the company's commitment to the event, and announces that Check Point's Chief Product Officer and Global Head of R&D, Dr. Dorit Dor, will give the keynote. He invites viewers to register and closes by saying he looks forward to seeing everyone in September. None of the content promised in the session description (Kaseya, supply-chain attacks, ransomware trends, Check Point Research figures) is present in this recording; that material would be in the keynote itself, which is a separate video.
The attack on IT management software firm, Kaseya, combined two of 2021’s most notorious cyber-attack trends—supply chain attacks and ransomware. At least 1,000 businesses are said to have been affected by the attack, with victims identified in at least 17 countries. As a matter of fact, Check Point Research team found that average number of ransomware attacks increase by 93 in the last 12 months. It wasn’t that long ago that ransomware didn’t even exist. How did we get to this point? And is there any way to stop this most popular trend in cybercrime, before it’s too late? Join this session where Dr. Dorit Dor (PhD) Chief Products Officer at Check Point will provide more insights on the Ransomware phenomena and discuss how organizations can remain protected against this growing global trend.
Key takeaways
- Treat this video as a sponsor promo, not as the ransomware and supply-chain session the title and description describe.
- The actual keynote by Dr. Dorit Dor is a separate recording; check whether it exists in the 2021 set before publishing this one under that title.
- If kept, the clip belongs in a sponsor or trailer category rather than in the talk library.
