Protecting yourself from a cyberattack is no longer about technology. While technology is inherently important to any cybersecurity solution, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. And more often than not, the other two pieces are overlooked: people and process. Before adopting the next security technology trend, it’s important to understand what you’re trying to protect, from whom, and how to measure whether it’s making an impact. In this session, we’ll uncover the increased risk and complexity of today’s threats; and why technology alone, without the aid of forensics and human analysis, just isn’t enough.
