Episode 299 Deep Dive: Gerry Sillars | Attackers Don't Take Holidays

In this episode, we sit down with Gerry Sillars, Vice President APJ from Semperis, as he discusses Semperis’ Holiday Ransomware Report. Gerry delves into the constant threat posed by attackers who don’t take holidays, emphasizing the need for organizations to protect their networks and systems at all times. He highlights the startling statistics from the report, such as 69% of ransomware attacks occurring on weekends or holidays, and the surprising 83% of organizations targeted by ransomware in the last year alone. We also explore the challenges of striking a balance between maintaining adequate cybersecurity measures and managing business costs, as well as the importance of having a comprehensive disaster recovery plan, especially during significant corporate events.

Gerry Sillars is the Vice President of Asia Pacific at Semperis, a leading provider of enterprise identity protection, threat research, and incident response services headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey. In this role, he heads the APAC operations and focuses on expanding Semperis’ footprint in Australia, ASEAN, Japan, Korea, and India while evolving the company’s channel business.

Gerry Sillars has over 20 years of experience building and scaling software businesses in APAC. Before joining Semperis, he played pivotal roles in Commvault Systems, Alcatel Lucent, UpGuard, and Fortanix.

Gerry lives in Singapore with his wife, is an Australian citizen and a native of Scotland.
