What is the Scalable Ransomware Recovery Programs course about?

Public-sector programs face increasing ransomware threats, yet most recovery strategies are ad hoc, inconsistent, or too slow to activate. Teams struggle to align technical response with policy, procurement, and public accountability timelines. Without a standardized, scalable approach, recovery introduces delays, compliance gaps, and eroded stakeholder trust.
