Description

Cyberattacks have become more sophisticated, widespread, and relentless as cybercriminals continue exploiting old and new vulnerabilities. The dynamic threat landscape and accelerated modernization initiatives are changing the face of cybersecurity for operational technology and critical infrastructure.

Building operational resilience will help prepare your organization in case of an attack. For most organizations, it is a matter of when not if you will feel the effect of a cyber incident. Preparing in advance can help you rapidly respond to, and take the most effective actions against today’s cyberthreats.

During this session, incident response experts take you through two case studies that detail real-world incidents caused by a cyberattack. The discussion will include trends seen by the team regarding TTPs and victimology. One case involves a multi-year campaign that leveraged IT assets to enable lateral movement into the OT network. The other case focuses on a multinational organization that was severely impacted by one of the largest ransomware deployments our team has ever encountered.
