•  How to use technology to address the inefficiencies.
•  How to use people and processes to address the inefficiencies.

The Next-Gen SOC: Optimizing to Make the Most of Limited Resources

Data breaches increased a staggering 68% in 2021, according to Identity Theft Resource Center's annual report, affecting individuals, municipalities and nation states, businesses large and small, and public utilities and resources. Attacks involving ransomware more than doubled, and the most popular business targets were in manufacturing and utilities. Understanding these trends and anticipating how and why attackers might single out your business operations or employees is critical to mitigation.

This panel of security experts will explore the current state of cybersecurity and how to use threat intelligence and threat hunting to identify risk and avert disaster.

Join us to learn about:

-- The new breed of cyber criminals and why they attack
-- The types of breaches your business should fear most
-- The best sources of threat intelligence 
-- How threat hunting and threat modelling can help your business proactively deter attackers
-- How to increase security awareness throughout the organization

How to Keep up with the Cyber Threat Landscape

Breaches happen by clever and well-armed cybercriminals who use many tactics, techniques, and procedures to infiltrate IT infrastructure, implant malware, and execute attacks. There is a lot at stake, so you need to know as much as possible with little or no delay to minimize adverse consequences.

Network monitoring that pipelines packets from the core network to cybersecurity analysts and analytics is the foundation of detecting and responding. Stealth is an often-used weapon, so monitoring with the highest possible fidelity is necessary to detect increasingly subtle Indicators of Attack and Indicators of Compromise.

This webinar will provide a stepwise plan for achieving faster breach detection and maximizing resilience to cyber risks by showing you how to: 
 
• Instrument any network, physical, virtual, hybrid-cloud, for high-fidelity monitoring to losslessly acquire and reliably deliver network packet data to SOC and SecOps security analysts and the analytics and tools they use
• Capture, store, and organize network packet data for use as security evidence 
• Forensically analyze security evidence to facilitate a rapid and effective response

Faster Breach Detection

Cyberattacks against healthcare jumped 42% in 2020 and another 35% in 2021. 

Successful cyberattacks disrupt healthcare operations, delay access to clinical services, and lead to significant economic loss. Stolen patient records can be used to commit fraud and identity theft, disrupting patients’ personal lives. 

Medical information is an attractive target because it has high economic value on the black market.
