Session
Uncover the hidden impact of ransomware attacks on mental health in organizations. Join our experienced psychologists as they draw from real-life stories to reveal effective strategies to reduce the psychological fallout of ransomware attacks, and shed light on the urgency of addressing mental well-being in the face of cyber incidents.
We utilize a three-phase approach: pre-incident preparation, mental impact support during incidents, and post-incident support. We describe key elements to create an environment that fosters mental health resilience and empowers people during ransomware attacks.
