A survey of 120 Black Hat students across our Black Hat USA and Europe training courses revealed a scary statistic ... Not a single security professional in the training had the in-depth knowledge or skills to effectively carry out an incident response investigation from end-to-end to contain a breach of their organization.
Unfortunately, this is a true representation of the state of the IT security industry today and is the fundamental reason why the bad guys are winning. Whilst we continue to use traditional security strategies, the bad guys will continue to win.
With limited security skills, resources and budgets, the only way that your organization will survive moving forward is to modernize your security capabilities through automated threat detection and response.
We will discuss the problem space in more detail and how you can significantly reduce the cost of a security breach by enhancing your security operations, and streamlining your threat detection, evidence collection, evidence analysis, and automated response for real-time breach containment.
