"Elevator pitch" ransomware exercise --- As Vlada suggested - how to explain the importance of cybersecurity to a superior in a minute. Coming from the private sector (insurance/finance) I would simply ask the CEO, "Imagine, we come to work tomorrow, we exit the elevator, take our coffees, turn on our PCs and we realize we don't have access to our software systems; all client data - encrypted or deleted; we can't issue a single insurance policy; nor pay a single claim. E-banking and finance not functioning too. We are asked to pay several million EUR ransom to receive all our data back..and you are getting sacked by the Board of directors for sure !? What do you think? Shall we invest a few bucks in upgrading our cybersecurity or just go with the flow and wait for the cyber-lottery doom :)
