Surviving a ransomware attack

When IT director Tony Mendoza found his company under attack by a ransomware group, there was no playbook for how to respond. He and his team had to react -- at speed -- to a rapidly developing situation.

In this episode, Mendoza recalls his experience to Security Insights editor, Stephen Pritchard.
