Cybersecurity trends: Lessons learned from catastrophic breaches

Join us on Tuesday, July 16 to hear Kudelski Security Chief Technology Officer Andrew Howard share real-world examples of breaches that have shattered companies across the world.

How do you provide confidence to your boardroom, the C-suite and other security managers in taking a proactive approach to avoiding such calamitous events? Andrew will walk through the common themes he sees in the cyber security market, and valuable lessons learned from events that reach beyond the Gartner report.

It’s typical that clients significantly overinvest in the latest technology to mitigate perceived cyber security vulnerabilities. This leads to data center racks full of unused equipment and underutilized subscriptions. This session will demonstrate real-world examples of where this misallocation of resources really hurt in the context of a breach.

Attendees will leave with these key take-aways:

1. Introduction into the typical breach and the catastrophic breach.
2. Understanding of common themes across major breaches.
3. Prioritized mitigations that would have reduced the time to discovery and impact of these breaches.

Who should attend:

Those working in IT or cybersecurity – with roles of CISOs, CIOs, VPs, directors and managers of cyber security or infrastructure would benefit from attending.
