Best Cybersecurity Requires Integrated Efforts
Hosted by RedSeal

Mike Lloyd
CTO

Every organization manages about 20 distinct security technologies, with enough staff to operate five of them well. Hiring isn’t the answer — the talent pool is nearly dry. Instead, we must get all our existing security investments to work. Together.
You’ll see:
How products and vendors are sharing information
Operational benefits from integrations
Improved cybersecurity results – a safer, more resilient company

Vice President, Information Security and Chief Information Security Officer

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
