Discover this conference that took place during the 3rd edition of Cybersecurity 20/20 on October 26 and 27, 2021.

Conference description:

Attackers these days overwhelmingly avoid relying on malware to achieve their objectives. Instead, they trick or coerce your own employees or partners to do the dirty work. So, whether you have a disgruntled or malicious insider or an external threat actor who has stolen passwords, these attackers can stay under the radar, using legitimate credentials, tools and existing business processes. Even threats like ransomware now increasingly rely on these techniques.


The goal of this session is to help security teams understand how modern threat actors make their way into and through organizations. We will describe the various stage of the attack progression and provide guidance on what we have seen work in terms of identifying the early warning signs of malicious intent. Identifying the adversaries at this stage allows security teams much needed time to disrupt the attacker's objectives.

Attend to:
  • Understand how attacks have evolved and the stealthy techniques adversaries use to achieve their objectives
  • Discuss the threat hunting and other techniques that can be used to identify malicious intent early and across the kill-chain
  • Learn how the *right* AI-based detection methodologies can automate the process without adding significant overhead on the security team
