Implementing a modern Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) requires a proactive approach, as adversaries continuously adapt, and cybersecurity remains a top board-level priority. Join Sunny Jassal, CISO at BCIT, along with SentinelOne and Microserve, for an insightful discussion on winning strategies to enhance endpoint security.

This session will explore:

  • Key cybersecurity metrics for board-level discussions
  • The critical role of Digital Forensics Incident Response (DFIR)
  • Leveraging generative AI to strengthen cybersecurity defenses

Don't miss this opportunity to gain actionable insights into modern Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) strategies for higher education!
