About this Session:

The goal of increasing cyber resiliency acknowledges that even the best-designed security measures are not infallible. How an organization can detect, respond and recover is key to minimizing the impact of a cyberattack. During this session, Steve Akers, Clearwater Corporate CISO and CTO of the company?s Managed Security Services team, reviews how a real-life attack played out within the environment of a healthcare IT company and the actions his team took to effectively chase the attacker out of the organization and close the doors to additional exposure. Steve discusses how the attack happened and the moves and countermeasures that took place, including verifying that no access to sensitive data occurred, blocking the attacker?s movement, and confirming that the organization was rid of any lingering exposure. The information is based on the work of Clearwater?s Managed Security Services on behalf of a client.  Speaker: Steve Akers, CISO & CTO @ Clearwater
