Cut Through the Noise - Protect Against Emerging Threat Vectors That Matter
Hosted by Akamai
Organizations face an infinite number of potential threats as they pursue digital transformations and criminals evolve their attack techniques. While there are certain threats – malware, phishing, credential abuse, etc - that remain top trends year after year, there are always new threat vectors emerging. Since even the most well-funded organizations cannot address all threats, how can CISOs differentiate between what is emerging and dangerous and what is overhyped and a distraction?
Join this session to discuss:
- Analyzing today’s emerging threat vectors to determine relevance and urgency
- Contextualizing new threats within your detection and response protocols
- Baselining your security posture and boosting resilience with multiple layers of defense
