What is the Operationally-Sound Ransomware Recovery course about?
Traditional ransomware recovery training stops at technology. In hybrid environments, success depends on coordination across time zones, systems, and leadership layers. Without an operationally-sound framework, even technically sound backups can't prevent prolonged downtime or cascading decision delays.
