Today's cyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated and are initiated by well-funded criminal organizations that have advanced tools and experienced hackers. The question is, can we effectively compete with these adversaries? This presentation aims first to discuss the different types of attacks we face today and then review how our detection solutions align with these attacks. We will also delve into common prevention controls and examine approaches to respond to attacks. We will take a closer look at how corporations and MDR providers have traditionally designed SOC operations and explore some new approaches as well. We will finally offer recommendations to improve our ability to prevent, detect, and respond to today’s cyber-attacks.
