3 October 2025 – The long-term effects of ransomware

TechCentral Webinar: The long-term effects of ransomware

Zoom Online Event — 3 October 2025, 10am

According to Sophos’ State of Ransomware report for 2025, there is often more than one cause for a ransomware attack, from security gaps organisations may not be aware of to a lack of expertise.

As important as the structural and financial loss associated with an attack, are the human costs left behind. Do organisations understand the levels of anxiety and stress involved in making sure business as usual returns before anyone notices?

Is anyone keeping track of the level of turnover post-incident? How are managers making sure their teams feel seen and are retained?
Furthermore, do professionals consider working on a breach something to be celebrated or a black mark on their CV?
