Overview

August 27

There’s no question Public Sector IT security teams can be under near constant threat from cybercriminals launching endless ransomware and malware attacks. But oftentimes, these teams are so inundated with data from siloed point products, it’s difficult to reduce the noise and identify which issues need immediate attention.

By integrating endpoint, network and cloud data, security teams can more accurately detect and prevent attacks before they happen and simplify investigations when they do, allowing for more immediate response.

Tune in to Government Technology’s latest webinar, “No More Alert Fatigue: How Good Data Drives a Sophisticated Cyber Strategy,” on August 27 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern as our panel of experts discusses how analytics and machine learning technology can help your security teams identify threats and benign events with superior accuracy.

Register now and you’ll hear:
• Why blind spots compromise your ability to identify and prevent attacks to protect your enterprise
• How you can transform your security operations with a new approach fueled by comprehensive data and deep analytics
• Why you need a unified experience for true prevention, detection, investigation and response
