Friday Night Ransomware: The 72 Hours Nobody Plans For

A candid conversation about what happens next

If ransomware began encrypting production data on a Friday evening, would your organization know what to do before employees and customers returned Monday morning?

h-Bar Solutions invites IT and business leaders from across Connecticut, Westchester County, and the greater New York metro area to an in-person working lunch at Terra Gaucha. Attendees will walk through the decisions organizations face during the first 72 hours of a ransomware incident, from the first alert and weekend escalation to clean recovery points, application priorities, and business operations.

You would be a wonderful addition to this roundtable of local technology and business professionals discussing a critical topic.

This is not a product presentation. It is a relaxed, discussion-based executive roundtable where local peers can compare experiences, ask practical questions, and explore what proven recovery really requires.

Practical, personal, and built around peer exchange

The roundtable includes a private 72-Hour Test that allows each attendee to consider detection, escalation ownership, clean recovery points, and recovery sequencing without sharing a score with the room.

Attendees will leave with new questions to take back to their teams, new connections with peers in the Stamford area, and a clearer view of what recovery readiness means for the entire business.

h-Bar Solutions also sees this luncheon as an opportunity to learn what local technology and business leaders would find valuable in future gatherings. Based on the interest and response, h-Bar may host additional roundtables and peer networking events in the area.
