Today’s cybercrime pandemic and what to do about it
Cybercrime has increased exponentially during the pandemic which in turn has seen an increase in ransomware attacks. Add to this the increased discussion around nation-state attacks and it’s easy to see why organisations who operate on a global scale are asking ‘how do we mitigate these risks?’
In this live broadcast session, guest speakers share their insights on the techniques cyber criminals are using to increase the effectiveness of their criminal activity and provide guidance on how you can gain an objective view of your own threat landscape and enable a threat driven cyber security strategy.
