Prevention, detection, and response are the core pillars for any company’s cybersecurity infrastructure. Always prevent what you can, but also have a solid plan for the real-time detection of an inside-the-network attacker and have the tools in place for post-compromise investigations and remediation. Deception is quickly becoming recognized as the most effective and efficient approach to detecting targeted, stolen credential, and ransomware attacks. Deception lures an attacker into revealing themselves and completes extensive attack analysis, which can be used to automatically block and quarantine an attacker. In this session you will learn how deception technologies accelerate time-to-detection, how attack analysis can be applied to expedite response actions, and how threat intelligence can be leveraged to strengthen prevention security systems.
