Significant cyber incidents continue to increase rapidly, with threat actors evolving their techniques and turning up the pressure on their victims. As the landscape continues to evolve, and threat actors leverage new creative techniques to cripple business operations, what can your organization do to prepare and stay ahead of threats?
From infection to remediation, to understanding how attackers accomplish their nefarious goals, we can help organizations prevent attacks and build effective response and recovery plans. With our threat intelligence, incident response, and product development teams working together, Unit 42 by Palo Alto Networks sees attacks from a very different perspective.
During this session, we will share our view of the current threat landscape, behind the scenes details of incidents we have responded to in support of education clients, provide an overview of the top tactics and attacker trends we are tracking, and provide recommendations for how you can protect your organization.
