Are you struggling to operationalize and enforce the cybersecurity fundamentals? Our research report, "Cracks in the Foundation: Why Basic Security Still Fails," which surveyed 500 decision-makers, reveals a harsh truth. 92% of organizations affected by an incident believe stronger cyber hygiene could have prevented it. 

Tune in as our panel of security experts analyzes the report's key findings and shares real-world tips on: 
- The most common basics that break and tips strengthen these fundamentals such as 
         - Failure to adhere to the common Controls 
         - Phishing awareness training

TAG Cyber Full Interview on AI in SecOps

They say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. In cybersecurity, this rings especially true. The playbook for many of today's most notorious attacks was written decades ago, and the most successful organizations are those that learn from past mistakes—not their own, but those of others.

In this webinar, Nick Tausek, Lead Solutions Architect at Swimlane, will walk through some of the most infamous security breaches in recent history. 

You'll learn:

- The who, what, when, and where of major security incidents, and the surprising similarities between them.
- Actionable insights and best practices for your SecOps team to prevent your organization from becoming a "ghost of incidents past."
- How agentic AI automation can help you defend against these types of attacks and build a more resilient security posture.

Join us to learn how to exorcise the ghosts of incidents past and keep your organization's name out of the history books for all the wrong reasons.
