PSP: Live Fire on the Mainframe: Watch a Ransomware Attack Stopped in Its Tracks
Description​What happens when ransomware strikes the mainframe? In this session, you’ll see it unfold in real time. We’ll stage a live ransomware attack—watch as critical data is encrypted, systems are disrupted, and operations are put at risk. Then, step by step, we’ll turn the tables. Using modern detection, response, and recovery practices, we’ll expose the intrusion, stop the attackers, and restore the environment with data intact.​

This isn’t a theory lesson or a static slide deck—it’s a hands-on demonstration of the tactics adversaries use and the defenses practitioners need to protect their environments. You’ll walk away with practical insights into:​
• How ransomware penetrates and spreads in a mainframe setting​
• What real-time detection and response look like when every second counts​
• Recovery strategies that safeguard integrity and keep business operations running​

​See for yourself what it takes to defend and recover when the stakes couldn’t be higher.​
