SOC Talk: 3 Keys for Building an Effective SOC Strategy

Cybercriminals find success with socially-engineered attacks because they prey on human vulnerabilities by creating a sense of trust and urgency. That makes it hard for security operations centers to stay one step ahead.

Humans will always be susceptible to falling victim to a cleverly crafted attack. But with the right strategy focused on training and technology, you can create the ultimate cyber defense system.

Join this session, featuring insights from behavioral scientist Steve Crimando (formerly with the FBI), as well as the Abnormal Security team to learn:

• How cybercriminals exploit human vulnerabilities
• Why security awareness training and prevention tools are necessary
• What types of tools are most important to invest in to combat them, now and in the future
• And tips for increasing SOC productivity to focus on the most dangerous threats

We’ll discuss the right mix of technology, people, and process so attendees walk away with a solid strategy for their security operations.
