CPE Webinar | Ransomware 2027: Countering Evolving Attack Vectors with Automated Recovery

Dec 2 / IT GRC Forum
Ransomware in 2027 has become faster, more automated, and increasingly adept at exploiting gaps between real‑time security operations and compliance workflows. As adversaries use AI to accelerate reconnaissance, privilege escalation, and extortion, organizations need recovery strategies that are both automated and continuously aligned with controls, documentation, and regulatory obligations.

This session explores how regulated enterprises can strengthen resilience by pairing automated recovery with continuous controls monitoring and compliance‑as‑code. By moving from static, point‑in‑time evidence to dynamic, self‑updating controls and documentation, organizations can close the operational gaps attackers target and ensure recovery processes remain verifiable, audit‑ready, and synchronized with their environment.

Attendees will gain insight into evolving ransomware tactics, modern recovery workflows across hybrid and multi‑cloud infrastructures, and the role of automated evidence collection and unified control frameworks in maintaining a continuously assured security posture.
