Data breaches and their aftermath are commonplace, with no signs of slowing.

The threats you face today are created by savvy criminals leveraging advanced techniques to surgically target network openings you may not know you have.

And while the situation is serious, with certain smart network changes and a healthy-dose of ‘knowing your enemy,’ the prognosis is quite good.

Join Intel Security experts as they offer forensic insight into recent research that identified five of the most common network attack methods that data thieves love to use. This session will provide practical guidance on how criminals view your network, how to use that information to maintain a dynamic security profile, and ways to minimize the likelihood of a breach and its injurious repercussions.
