This live stream is a conversation between Ed Bailey and Jackie McGuire on the growing significance of cyber resilience in today’s digital landscape. You’ll learn what cyber resilience means, why it’s important, and how to manage and improve it in an increasingly unpredictable world. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and frequent, cyber resilience has become critical to protecting personal and business assets.

The cybersecurity threat landscape facing every organization is constantly changing. Cybercriminals are always looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit or changing existing attack methods to bypass protections. They also go to great lengths to hide their activities within regular network traffic and application activity. The attack surface that organizations present to attackers is also in a constant state of flux.

Network security breaches are every business’s nightmare. A security breach could be anything from password attacks with further unauthorized system access to data leakage. Whether it is a small start-up or a large enterprise with millions of dollars in turnover, a single network security breach can be detrimental to the reputation of any company, not to mention the financial losses incurred. According to the 2021 Thales Data Threat Report, 45% of US companies suffered a data breach in 2020.

The security industry may not have been making a lot of noise about Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for long, but it’s not actually a new technology. Despite having been around now for roughly 10 years, it’s only recently that EDR has really come to the fore. This has been driven by the fact that traditional antivirus struggles to cope with the increasing sophistication of modern malware, and is certainly unfit to handle new types of cyber threats.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is an approach to cybersecurity that combines advanced technologies, skilled analysts, and a proactive response process to detect, investigate, and remediate cyber threats. MDR is typically delivered as a service by a third-party provider and includes a range of security capabilities, such as threat intelligence, behavior analysis, anomaly detection, and incident response.
