Webinar: The Psychological Impact of Ransomware

Join us for the launch event, run in partnership with the University of Kent, of a new RUSI paper on the ransomware harms experienced by individuals, organisations and society. The paper is based on interviews with organisations and individuals affected by ransomware and provides new insights on the victim experience.

This event will focus on a specific aspect of the research – the psychological impact of responding to a ransomware attack. To discuss this topic, we will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss their own experiences of supporting victims of ransomware and their work in the field.
