Cyber security is a board-level priority; however it is often seen as a technical issue. Today, cyber-attacks are increasing in frequency and complexity – making it a case of ‘when’ not ‘if’ a company will be impacted by a breach or security incident. Combined with the potential reputational and financial impact of an attack and the growing regulation and compliance requirements, managing cybersecurity risk needs to be a CFO priority too.

Adopting an MDR or MXDR solution is a predictable and cost-effective approach, removing the challenges and financial constraints of building an internal security function, while benefitting from quick defence, response and reduced cyber risk.

In this webinar, we explain the growing need for managed security services, reducing confusion over the different acronyms and models and outline the benefits and value to be gained.

Agenda

  • The top cyber risks companies face today
  • The potential cost and impact of an attack
  • MDR, MXDR, and SOCaaS explained
  • Key considerations when choosing a partner
  • Cost vs value – finding the right service for you
  • Q&A
