This session will explore the current state of cyber threats, detailing how attackers progress from your social media, online exposure, and vendor managed systems, through phishing and account compromises, to data breaches, data theft, and ransomware.
We’ll discuss attacker motivations, common “low hanging fruit,” strategies to prevent intrusions where we can, and mitigate the impact of breaches when they occur. We’ll review case studies and “in the news” examples from the last 24 months that had significant impact on businesses.
Throughout the session, we’ll examine root causes leading to breaches, and mitigation strategies to reduce likelihood and impact.
Learning objectives:
- Recognize common threats and social engineering techniques
- Identify online behaviors that can lead to increased exposure
- Learn where your organization can focus valuable risk mitigation resources
- Develop and refine a framework of knowledge to plan future security efforts
