New Webinar Reveals Best Practices to Defeat Cyber Attacks with Security Experts from LogRhythm and SymantecBOULDER, Colo., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Symantec's 2015 Internet Security Threat Report, more than 85 percent of large organizations were targeted by advanced attackers this year. This report makes the case for an upcoming SC Magazine-hosted webinar, "Defeating Cyber Attackers: Best Practices for Leveraging Adversary & Threat Intelligence with Security Analytics," with LogRhythm and Symantec. With targeted attacks on the rise, organizations need to leverage adversary and threat intelligence with advanced security analytics to accurately detect and respond to early indicators of compromise and avoid a high-impact breach. During this webinar James Carder, CISO at LogRhythm and vice president of LogRhythm Labs, and Al Cooley, director of DeepSight Intelligence at Symantec, will explain common ways indicator-rich threat intelligence can be delivered and effectively operationalized to protect against advanced attacks. They will conduct a live Q&A after the presentation.
The panelists will also discuss how actionable adversary and threat intelligence delivered by Symantec DeepSight Intelligence can be automatically consumed by LogRhythm's Security Intelligence Platform to correlate external threat data with other high-risk events to immediately expose highly concerning activity. Themes the webinar will cover include:
