What is the Operationally-Sound Ransomware Recovery course about?
Organizations with multiple physical or virtual sites often struggle to align recovery procedures due to fragmented tooling, inconsistent playbooks, and unclear ownership. This leads to extended downtime, compliance exposure, and leadership distrust in recovery readiness.
