[https://youtu.be/wKS9ui_4sJ4] Beth Waller, Chair of Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practice at Woods Rogers, breaks down what you need to know before, during, and after a cyber incident. Beth shares insights from real-world healthcare ransomware response engagements, covering why healthcare is such a prime target, common cybersecurity blind spots, how organizations should prepare, and what actually happens in the critical first hours after an attack. The conversation also dives into media response, cyber insurance, ransomware negotiations, class action lawsuits, business continuity, and the growing impact of AI on cybersecurity and data privacy.
