New Government Proposal to Prevent Organisations From Paying Ransomware Demands

In this episode of InfoSec Insider – Talk Cyber, Stuart Skelly, Senior Consultant at URM, explains a recently announced consultation by the UK government into proposals by the Home Office, which would increase its control and visibility of ransomware attacks on organisations operating in the UK.  Stuart leverages his extensive legal background and experience as a governance, risk and compliance consultant to discuss:

• What is meant by ransomware and a ransomware cyber attack
• The Home Office’s proposals – what they are and which organisations they would affect if they come into force
• The complications and challenges these proposals could create
• How interested organisations can send a response to the Home Office.
