Ransomware uses malicious software to restrict an organization’s access to its data or information systems until payment is made. It is also one of the most common and costly forms of cyber-attacks that businesses face today. With the looming threat of confidential and proprietary information being stolen or revealed, making ransomware payments is often a serious consideration. Yet when advising on this contentious matter, counsel should be aware of the key factors that determine the legality of the payment, the role and use of digital forensics, and the preventative measures to advise clients on. 


In this CLE webinar, our expert panelists begin by discussing what ransomware attacks are, how they occur, and the current threat environment in the United States. Next, our speakers break down the 2021 OFAC ransomware advisory, which parties it applies to, and the factors considered in determining potential violations. They also review the option for licensing policies and the penalties imposed by OFAC. Next, our experts give an overview of computer forensics, its capabilities, and its role after a ransomware attack. Finally, our speakers share the best practices to limit an organization’s ransomware risk, which counsel can both observe and advise clients to do.
