As a vendor, we witness first-hand the tangible effect that best practices like the CIS Controls have on our customers’ network security. From our perspective, it’s easy to see who is on top of their security game … and who could really benefit from the guidance these controls provide. In this discussion, we’ll walk through several of the CIS Controls, review the changes to the new V8,  and provide real-world case studies to illustrate how different security tools and services can work together – sometimes in not-so-obvious ways – to reduce risk, and keep your network safe and secure.

New strains of ransomware are leaving organizations vulnerable – too often, security teams lack the ability to respond proportionately to an attack, leading to cyber disruption across the organization. Join this session to unpack some of today’s most advanced ransomware threats. Learn how Self-Learning AI understands the organization to reveal every stage of a ransomware attack – and takes targeted, autonomous action to stop the threat in its tracks.

This presentation will discuss:

• Recent ransomware threat trends, including double extortion and RDP attacks
• How Autonomous Response takes action to contain an emerging attack, even when security teams are out of office
• Real-world examples of ransomware detected by Darktrace AI – including a zero-day and an attack initiated on Christmas Day

The spread of ransomware is an existential threat to public and private sector organizations and security and risk leaders face an often-impossible task of securing limited resources, executive buy-in, and organizational support for cyber programs and initiatives. In this session, we will explore how you can better craft your cybersecurity roadmap, quantify your cyber risk in dollars, and gain a better understanding of what cyber controls – and vendors – you should be prioritizing.
