Summary

Reactive threat detection is no longer enough to manage security threats, particularly as attacks now don’t include traditional “file based malware”. Surveys such as Ponemon Institute still show that threats can be within your environment for up to 100 days before they are finally detected, often by someone telling you that you are compromised. In this session, KPMG will discuss the fast evolving threat environment, and why earlier detection and proactive threat hunting is so important. We will include a case study on how we detected an active compromise from Palestine within one of our customers in the first 24 hours of a Compromise Assessment exercise.
