Lets's Talk SOC: Ep.10 - Ransomware Goes Pro: How to Up Your Protection Game

The rise of AI has made its way to threat detection. With AI-enabled threat detection systems predicting new attacks and notifying admins of data breaches instantly, it’s safe to say that artificial intelligence is making its mark on the security landscape. 
 
But is AI worthy of all the plaudits it's receiving, and is it a silver bullet for threat detection? Or is it ‘just’ the next building block on the road to a robust as possible security set-up? In this Secureworks panel, George Anderson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Secureworks is joined by experts Nash Borges - VP of Software Engineering at Secureworks, Dr Rebecca Wynn - Global Chief Security Strategist & CISO, Click Solutions Group and Simon Ratcliffe - Principal Consultant, Ensono to answer the question: ‘Is AI the panacea to doing threat detection right?’
 
Learn from their experience and insights and join this panel to hear:
- What AI-enabled threat detection looks like in the real-world, away from the hype
- The most common use cases that AI-enabled threat detection makes easier to detect
- Instances where AI could potentially cause CISOs and security leaders more headaches than it removes

- And more

Is AI the Panacea to Doing Threat Detection Right?

Selecting the right threat detection and incident response solution for your organization can be overwhelming. From Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to name but a few - the complexity of the solutions available can make it difficult to ensure you’re including the right criteria for your needs, it’s no wonder that the journey can be trying. 

In this on-demand panel discussion, experts will guide you through the challenge by sharing what criteria you should be including during your selection process. Join host Nick Cavalancia as he talks to George Anderson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Secureworks, Cat Coode, Founder of Binary Tattoo and Dom Glavach, CSO at CyberSN.com about: 

- How to sift through the noise of the threat detection and incident response solutions available on the market 

- Common mistakes organizations find themselves making when engaging for the first time with a threat detection and incident response solution 

- How to measure value and outcomes from the solutions available 

- And more

Criteria for Selecting the Right Threat Detection & Incident Response Solution

As cyber threats proliferate, more organizations are turning to extended detection and response (XDR) to detect and eliminate attacks. However, decision-makers have questions about what to expect from this new technology and how it differs from other cybersecurity solutions. 

This webinar presents findings on top challenges organizations face and how XDR meets those needs. You’ll also learn how the best-in-class Secureworks® Taegis™ XDR solution provides organizations with more benefits than expected—for an even better security strategy. 

What you’ll learn: 
- Better protection for critical assets 
- Better prioritization of high-risk alerts
- Better security outcomes and customer confidence

Choosing the Right XDR Solution leads to more benefits than expected

Ransomware and cybercrime groups operating from China are an understudied topic. But they are no less of a threat to your business. This session will explore their activities using ransomware as cover for espionage — as well as groups focused on traditional profit goals.
