In 2019, Maastricht University is being asked to transfer 197,000 euros in Bitcoin following a ransomware attack. Maastricht University was not the only target, or victim, of ransomware attacks. Similarly, the Hof van Twente was recently asked to transfer 750,000 euros in Bitcoin. Michiel Borgers is and was CIO of Maastricht University at the time of the ransomware=attack and can tell from his experience what happened. Not only financial institutions are under attack, but the entire BV Nederland is threatened by cyber attacks. Together with our speakers Michiel Borgers (CIO Maastricht University) and Maarten Souw (Security Officer AFM), we will look at the danger of these attacks and how you can prepare for them.

This event is jointly organised by ISACA NL and the KNVI. PE points are awarded by KNVI and also recognised by ISACA.

In conversation with Michiel Borgers
Michiel is CIO at Maastricht University and was also a director at the time of the attack. On 23 December 2019, the data of several of the university's systems was taken hostage by hackers and a ransom of 197,000 euros was eventually paid. While the University was indeed susceptible to this hack, the Ministry of Education has assessed that there was a good response to the attack. Michiel likes to share what he learnt from this attack and how the university has now better prepared itself. Michiel likes to take us through the events before and during the hack. How did the university come to the conclusion to pay two tons? And what technical and cultural changes took place?

In conversation with Maarten Souw
Maarten is Security Officer at AFM. He cannot -as he says himself with a wink- share too many secrets and also speaks in a personal capacity. However, he can explain the challenges of the CIO from various stimulating angles. With his vast experience within security, he paints a clear picture of the various threats out there. He also has clear advice on how to improve information security for all companies both private and public. Finally, Maarten explains from his experience how requirements can be used from a security perspective to make positive business impact. A clear example of this is cleaning up legacy.

Michiel and Maarten will answer your questions
In the last part of the session, Maarten and Michiel will answer your questions together. This allows your questions to be answered from two apparent perspectives. Both operationally and security-driven. Therefore, we ask you in advance if you want to think of interesting questions.

Practical matters:
The event is hosted from MOS-Studios. This means that in addition to one of our speakers, we also have a chairperson/presenter who will field questions from the participants. Interaction is paramount at this event. 1 PE point has been awarded to the event.
