Spencer Fane attorney Shawn Tuma recently joined the SecureWorld Remote Sessions podcast as a featured guest to discuss the pros and cons of making ransomware payments illegal.

Shawn provided insight on the stages organizations and security teams experience during a data breach, including preparation, response, and ransomware payments.
