Protecting Your VIPs, and Your VAPs (Very Attacked People) Too

Textron
Lucia Milica
Resident CISO
Proofpoint
For years, we’ve seen attackers target organizations via their people. Now with fewer reliable exploits and more cloud adoption, we’re also seeing a shift toward attacks that exploit people, with threat actors tricking their targets into running their malware for them, handing over their credentials, or simply sending data or money to an impostor. Lucia Milica of Proofpoint will outline strategies for gaining visibility and mitigating risk in a people-centric threat landscape.
Join to learn:
- Why nearly all threat actors have shifted away from technical exploits to compromise their targets
- How organizations can leverage threat data to understand which people and departments are highly targeted
- How to design effective protection for highly attacked, highly vulnerable, and highly privileged users

- Effectively presenting risk to the Board and C-Suite
- How to calculate risk and report on the business criticality of vulnerabilities
- What a mature and cyber-resilient security posture looks like
