Topic: Threat Intelligence: Moving Towards Cyber Resilience in 2022
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses to accelerate their adoption of digital technologies, paving the way for malicious actors to target the critical IT infrastructures of enterprises, government, and healthcare providers. The ever-evolving threat landscape means that addressing the risk of a cyberattack is now a question of not “if” but “when.” Detecting and mitigating threats and patching vulnerabilities is no longer enough; organizations today must implement measures that proactively anticipate attacks.
Cyber resilience is more important than ever, and the responsibility for ensuring security hygiene lies not just with cybersecurity teams and security operations centers but with each employee. Awareness is an organization’s greatest defense. This webinar will discuss why organizations need to build cyber resilience strategies and how to leverage threat intelligence to ensure business continuity and minimize the impact of cyberattacks.
Key takeaways:
- Why we need cyber resilience more than cybersecurity in 2022
- The role of threat intelligence in cyber resilience
- How to measure cyber resilience
