Speech Topic & Synopses
“TAKEN”: WITH A VENGEANCE
“I might not have the budget, but what I do have are a particular set of services. Services I have acquired over a very long procurement process. Services that make me a nightmare for criminals who try to attack my network. If you leave my network now that will be the end of it. But if you don’t, I will look for it, I will find it, and I will pull that kill switch.”
Do you daydream of having this conversation with the cybercriminals that attack your network? If this is you, then make sure you really do have the services (and processes, procedures and policies) to back up that monologue. Ransomware especially is invasive, pervasive, and worst case, destructive; cutting off the attacks before they begin is key.In this talk you will learn:
1.Why ransomware can exploit even the smallest weakness in your security controls.
2.Fundamental approaches to detect and respond to minimise and contain damage.
3.How to take advantage of new services, approaches and attitudes to best curtail any ambitions you have of monologuing like a Hollywood A-lister.
