Synopsis and overview of the session
Organizations are increasingly at risk from skilful attackers and potent cyberthreats. The cost of cyberattacks could go beyond millions of dollars to fix breaches. The potential breach of secure data, loss of intellectual and personnel data, and extreme remediation also come at a high price.
Focus Network in partnership with Cohesity, invites you to join this executive gathering of other IT leaders, where we will delve deeper into:
- The rise and evolution of ransomware attacks
- How modern data protection capabilities can enhance an organization’s security posture
- Building a Threat Defence Architecture that brings SecOps and IT Ops together
