Abstract

In today's world of security breaches costing companies millions, understanding how incidents can occur gives insight into protecting the network and managing risk. With the number of incidents on the rise it's no longer an option to simply be content with mitigating a breach after the fact but must also detect any breaches of security before they can damage and also prevent further intrusions. The Engineers at Fortinet will walk you through the life cycle of advanced threats pointing out their common methods of avoiding detection. Additionally you'll be shown how a proper security framework gives you multiple options to detect and mitigate an attack before it has the opportunity to inflict damage; costing you time, money, and public confidence.
