Overview
It’s clear that cybercrime and cybercriminals are not abating during the global upheaval caused by COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Organizations of all sizes are targets for potential cyberattacks, but most don’t have a plan or the expertise to quickly respond in case of a breach. It’s important for IT teams to have a solid foundation to build their incident response plans on and act quickly to secure their environments.
Join this webinar to learn:
- Key steps needed in an incident response plan
- The speed adversaries move through the network and the time needed to respond before a breach
- Methods used to effectively disrupt and ultimately remove bad actors from the network
- Real world examples of cyberattacks and the steps taken to detect, respond and recover from the incident successfully
