The book is a detailed, darkly funny, and behind-the-scenes account of an increasingly common and feared event for organizations of all types and sizes. It offers up-to-date advice for people tasked with preventing, responding to, and recovering from ransomware attacks. You'll find insightful crisis management lessons applicable to both technical and business leaders; hands-on technical solutions you can apply to prevent catastrophic data loss during a ransomware event; and techniques to manage the intense operational, emotional, and interpersonal challenges that arise in the midst of an unexpected crisis.

Perfect for IT professionals, cybersecurity leaders, and business decision-makers in higher education, healthcare, government, and nonprofit organizations, Locked Up is also a must-listen for business continuity planners, legal counsel, and anyone else with an interest in real-world cybersecurity.
