The Coming Cyber Crysis

In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole continues his assessment of the cyber crisis that is already happening.

Cyber attacks are no longer about lone attackers wanting to prove some kind of point or cause random mayhem, they calculate risk/reward just like any other organization, and go after the targets most likely to be vulnerable to attack and pay the largest amount of money.

Learn how organizations can defend themselves against different types of attacks, and keep their data more secure.
