Weaponizing Asset Intelligence: Defending Against Bad Actors – Brian Contos – ISW23 #1

As long as there are profits to be made, cybercriminals will continue to monetize enterprise assets—whether they be devices, applications, data, or users. It only takes one weak or unknown asset to compromise an entire organization. Brian will discuss why enterprises need to move away from assumption-based approaches to asset data and decision making to evidence-based asset intelligence to secure their environments quickly, easily, and at scale.
