Decrypting Cybersecurity: Are We Ready To Meet Tomorrow’s Emerging Threats?

Please note this event will be conducted off-the-record.

Corporations and governments worldwide are now taking steps to enhance their cybersecurity as cyber attacks on the public and private sectors become more common and grow more complex. When dealing with targeted cyber attacks, what is necessary in order to quickly discover the threat and mitigate the impact? What is the best way to deal with these increasingly complex and evolving cyber threats?
