Mitigating the cyber risk introduced by humans and technology: are we really under siege?

The global pandemic, the attacks on Solarwinds and Codecov, together with the innovative business models introduced by players in the Ransomware world, has created a truly complex landscape to defuse.

The pandemic has accelerated the need and drive for digital transformation. Previously, it was too slow but now there is a need to speed up and  often with little control, expanding the attack surface. However, it is the Supply chain that has continued to be one of the preferred entry points for the attackers.

Furthermore, the groups involved in Ransomware attacks have innovated their business, moving towards an as-a-Service model and evolved their tactics of  double extortion to more sophisticated triple or quadruple extortion.
The final goal of the attackers is always the same: monetizing data, an objective that is achieved by exploiting the weakest link in the chain: layer 8, the human being.

Are we really under attack? We will talk about it with Emiliano Massa (VP Sales SEUR, Forcepoint), Antonio Forzieri (Technical Director, F3rm1 Foundation) and with the Prefect Antonio Apruzzese in a very interesting chat.
