Veritas’s Simon Jelley: How to Guard Against Ransomware

I spoke with Simon Jelley, GM & VP of Product at Veritas Technologies, about why ransomware is so difficult to defend against, and his suggestions for critical best practices to lessen the threat.
Among the topics we discussed:

What’s the current state of ransomware?
Why does security software alone keep falling short?
Why is paying the ransom never the right thing to do?
How do organizations prepare for a ransomware attack in such a way that they can avoid paying the ransom?
