2016 was another record year for IT security threats, with election hacking, massive data breaches, ransomware, and new vulnerabilities such as with the Internet-of-Things making big news. 2017 promises to ramp up these threats to epic levels, potentially costing unprepared businesses billions of dollars in lost productivity and direct financial losses.

A common thread through last year’s disastrous events has been the failure of organizations to even detect security compromises, let alone prevent them. Enterprise security monitoring is a known art, with hundreds of solutions in the marketplace, but IT technologists have a hard time knowing where to start. In this webcast IT security experts Mel Beckman and Robin Tatam will update you on the latest threats and give you a practical strategy for improving your security monitoring stance in the coming year.
