Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy

Speaker: Sairam Durgaraju

Abstract: With regard to online activities, one should really be aware of the existence of cyber threats, metaphorically described as some sort of ‘digital enemies’ that seek many ways to compromise our systems. In this regard, we go on to discuss the very important topic entitled “Cyber Attack Detection and Quick Response Strategy,” concerning recognition of the potential threats such as phishing, malware, and DDoS attack, and understand ways to handle them. We are also going to cover how to develop investigative skills that could help in the detection of irregular activities, and development of a contingency plan to be implemented when an attack is successful. We’ll also look at advanced hardening strategies and why training your team and security assessments are so important. By the end of our discussion, participants will be fully empowered in the protection of digital assets, identification of any likely threats, and the neutralization of such threats to render the cyber adversary impotent.

NOTE: PDH certificates are available and an evaluation form will be emailed to you after the meeting. PDH certificates are sent by IEEE USA 3-4 weeks after the meeting.
