WELCOME! / Join Cohesity and EPN for a Private C-Suite Dinner

This discussion is about the IT community’s experiences with ransomware attacks. You will have a chance to listen, learn and engage with speakers as they take you through the key steps in protecting yourself against attackers, followed by the official dinner. You will then gain the luxury of debating with your peers, over a buffet dinner at Lindner Hotel, Düsseldorf Seestern

As a small group, it will prove an ideal opportunity to find the underlying cause of the problem. This is a great chance to talk in a private group, while still having an opportunity to network.
