The sophistication of advanced threats continues to grow rapidly making it increasingly difficult to actively detect and mitigate the harm these threats pose. Meanwhile, security teams are getting bombarded with alerts that derail their incident response efforts, making them less effective. Yet in the wake of a cyber-attack, there are three main questions security professionals ask:
- Have we been breached?
- How bad is it?
- Can we avoid this from happening again?
This presentation will offer effective mechanisms to confidently answer these three questions, discussing how to leverage the top four critical security controls to protect physical and virtual systems. Attendees will learn the importance of reliable data collection, business context and automation. In addition, the session will share how organizations are successfully mitigating the damage by reducing the time between discovery to remediation and how to put preventive measures in place to avoid repeated attacks.
