Coffee with Jim - Securing Against Supply Chain Cyber Attacks

Mar 15, 2023 By Razorthorn In Razorthorn
Following the ransomware attack on US IT firm Kaseya, join us for a chat about the ever-increasing need to secure ourselves successfully against not only direct ransomware attacks, but those that affect us through our supply chains.

And crucially, how can you make the solution cost effective?
