What is the Scalable Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?
Ransomware incidents increasingly target data integrity and availability, forcing audit functions to evolve beyond compliance checks into active resilience validation. Yet most audit teams operate with ad hoc recovery assessments, inconsistent documentation, and limited integration into incident response planning. This creates friction during audits, delays in remediation, and gaps in board-level reporting.
