Top Data Breaches of 2017: Why Prevention Alone Was Not Enough

Presented by

Narayan Makaram - Senior Director of Product Marketing at Arctic Wolf Networks

About this talk

While 2017 was turning out to be a year of ransomware attacks, the mother of all data breaches was carried out on Equifax where the personal information of 146 million people was stolen. Even though these companies had invested in preventive security technologies, it did not stop cyber criminals from stealing sensitive information or bringing their businesses to a grinding halt. In this webinar, we will examine the top 3 cyber-attacks and data breaches of 2017, and discuss the following: - How were these cyber-attacks carried out? - Why preventive technologies were not enough to stop these attacks? - What type of detection and response capabilities and security expertise could have made a big difference?
