Ransomware is big business. This nightmare usually gives cyber criminals multiple opportunities to hold your data hostage. After stealing it, attackers can also threaten to reveal the contents of your data publicly and damage reputations in the process. If your data self-protects, it becomes totally useless to criminals. Visit www.keyavi.com/sessions to learn how to protect your data from extortion.

Visit www.keyavi.com/sessions slash-sessions -- to learn how self-protecting data equals peace of mind.
