About the Speaker: The webinar is led by Paul Pols, Ransomware Resilience Principal at Secura. Paul is also a lecturer at the University of Leiden for the executive master’s degree in Cyber Security. He teaches network security with a focus on attack lifecycle and Kill chain models such as MITRE ATT&CK and the Unified Kill Chain.
