Threat Hunting with VirusTotal - Episode 4

A strong security culture is essential for any organization that wants to protect its data and systems. A security culture is more than just a set of policies and procedures; it is a shared mindset among employees that security is everyone's responsibility. When employees understand the importance of security and are empowered to take action to protect the organization, they are more likely to make safe decisions and report suspicious activity.

Catherine Vu and Daniel Gremaud are Cloud Security Architects at Google and will share their customer experience and talk about how you too can create a strong security culture.
