Common Cybersecurity Attacks: Tangible Steps for Prevention and Detection

This event is canceled. Please contact Emily Lee with any questions at elee@imec.org.  Thank you.

This workshop will cover the primary tactics cybercriminals use to break into organizations, steal data, and wreak havoc. Attackers look for the weakest link – is it your people, processes, or technology?

Common vulnerabilities and tactics within these areas will be discussed, including the following examples: social engineering, lack of incident response policies, and misconfigured firewalls.

Using case studies that feature real life scenarios from various industries, this interactive workshop provides an opportunity to process through real-life examples, uncovering:

• How an attacker gets into an organization
• Methods to detect a system breach
• Tactics to protect against future cyber attacks

You will leave with practical strategies that you can implement in your own organization to protect your company from cyber attacks.
