What is the Mid-Market Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?
Mid-market tech-forward organizations face increasing pressure to demonstrate resilience, yet traditional ransomware recovery models are too rigid, too slow, and too disconnected from the pace of product and engineering teams. This creates friction between security mandates and innovation goals, leading to shadow processes, compliance gaps, and delayed response when it matters most.
