Secure Critical Systems and Intellectual Property Against APT
Protect yourself from being boarded and raided by cyber privateers.
Book This Workshop
Weak or misallocated security resources will fail miserably.
- Normally, being better defended than the person next to you would work. Not anymore. APTs target specific enterprises no matter the security measures in place.
- Allowing an APT intrusion to occur in your organization could risk its competitive advantage due to theft of IP or disruption of functional capabilities.
- Huge potential costs result from mediating the intrusion due to cleaning networks or systems, changing credentials, legal issues, regulations, security audits, public loss of confidence and reputation damage.
A comprehensive APT security strategy helps you:
- Develop proper risk assessment to know why you’re at risk and when there is a threat.
- Provide visibility into what is really happening on your network.
- Enable proper detection capabilities for your network.
- Build proper preventative defenses to block out attacks.
- Create remediation plans for when an attack does occur.
- Improve continually with upkeep to provide sustainable security.
