What role is your IT team playing in securing the organization? The resources are there, but a more holistic approach to educating our security teams is needed.

Prevent, Detect, Respond & Evolve

A varied and sophisticated threat requires a varied approach. Traditional training programs have focused on specifi­c aspects of securing a network, failing to equip security professionals to act before, during and after and attack.
