Phishing, Malware and Incidents – Oh my! How to handle the daily deluge.

Presented by

David MacKinnon, Director of Research and William Galway, Product Manager and former Incident Responder

About this talk

No one understands the strain of constant battle better than those in Incident Response (IR). Daily cyber assaults require an unattainable perfect response – every time. However, teams are constantly working within constraints and breaches continue to occur in record number. Technology has been introduced to help but has failed time and time again. Breach identification takes an exorbitantly long time. And above all, attackers continue to target that last line of defense – the vulnerable, easily fooled human assets. When that last line of defense is surpassed, the IR team is expected to catch the attacks in progress – wading through millions of false alerts while attackers continue to hone their approach and deliver evolved malicious payloads. It’s enough to make you wonder why you got into this line of work! Join PhishMe’s David MacKinnon and Will Galway to hear why it’s not all doom and gloom. Previous to PhishMe, both David and Will worked as incident responders in the Fortune 500 market, collecting years of security operations insight and best practices to share. In this session, you’ll gain tips and knowledge around new threats and solutions for Incident Responders such as: •The new wave of malware to watch for and trends and threats collected from 2015 •The evolution of phishing emails, their targets and the payloads they deliver •How to forge a new line of defense and triage potential attacks – quickly and easily
