What is the Mid-Market Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?
Mid-market organizations face unique challenges: limited resources, decentralized teams, and complex hybrid infrastructures. Traditional ransomware recovery strategies are often too rigid, too slow, or too enterprise-focused to be effective. When an incident occurs, unclear roles, outdated playbooks, and untested systems lead to extended downtime and eroded stakeholder trust.
