Trend Watch: The Latest in Ransomware and What That Means for IT Teams

April 15, 2026

12:00 - 12:40 pm ET

Hey Chloe,

Even with your best noise-cancelling headphones, the ransomware conversation is hard to ignore.

Data-only extortion is rising, and AI tools, open-source software, and vendor sprawl are creating new entry points faster than most teams can track. The challenge is not just keeping up, but knowing what actually matters.

On April 15, join IT Brew and Arctic Wolf for a look at what’s changing in ransomware and where IT teams should focus right now, from emerging entry points to the signals that separate real risk from background noise.

Hope to see you there! Because guessing isn’t a security strategy.

Cheers,

IT Brew
