Anatomy of a Cyber Attack

Understanding Your Enemy

According to research conducted by the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high in 2023 of $4.45 million dollars. While it is common to focus on the negative financial losses and productivity outcomes of a data breach or security incident, the same amount of attention (if not more) should be paid to how security incidents can have substantial impact on the humans who are dependent on these systems. Understanding how specific incidents occurred, potential impact, and what organizations did to remediate is critical. Our guests, including seasoned cybersecurity professionals, will discuss the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals in real-world scenarios. We'll uncover the vulnerabilities that were exploited, the tools used, downstream impacts, and what strategies organizations can implement to defend against such threats.
