Tech layoffs and banking failures have made the headlines recently. In this episode we cover how people in Silicon Valley and beyond can stay resilient in the face of stress.

The perspective of the discussion then expands, and we give tips for how companies around the country can best respond to the ripple effects of the turmoil. Topics covered includes:

• Make sure you review your technology and financial partners thoroughly.
• Plan for resilience by having redundancy in critical areas.
• Don't fall for phishing emails related to banking changes or other hot topic issues.
• If you do need to let people go, handle it thoughtfully and securely.

The impact of ransomware on organizations is well-known. Companies can be coerced into making ransom payments. Sensitive customer data can be leaked onto the Dark Web. An impacted organization's IT environment may have to be rebuilt from scratch. The business itself could be forced to close. 

The impact of ransomware to the employees of the impacted organization is not as well known or discussed.
