ICA have partnered with the International Cyber Threat Task Force (ICTTF) to bring you this short online training course to help you gain an understanding of the cyber risks related to ransomware.

Everyone is a potential target; victims have included oil pipelines, academia, financial institutions and even the entire health services. Ransomware is generally a symptom of poor cyber hygiene, so how do we deal with this challenge?
