About this webinar:

Over the past 18 months, the roles and responsibilities of cyber security professionals within organisations have undeniably changed. Now responsible for securing increasingly complex IT estates, issues such as alert fatigue, evolving threats and skills gaps have left IT teams stretched thin when responding to incidents. While maintaining a robust cybersecurity infrastructure is crucial to every business, the professionals responsible for this important task are struggling to keep up.

In this context, it is essential that businesses deploy the appropriate tools to prevent, manage and respond to threats quickly. Tools that offer continuous threat hunting and intelligence, powered by AI, while ensuring that IT teams are not inundated with complex notifications and alerts, are invaluable to organisations tackling the evolving threat landscape, often with limited resources.

The following white paper, supported by bespoke research, will explore what IT teams want from the security tools they interact with daily and the hurdles they face in effectively responding to threats. It will delve into how organisations can improve their cyber resilience by updating legacy antivirus and the role of Managed Defence and Response (MDR) in this. Finally, it will look at how the “network effect” can help organisations protect themselves against emerging and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
