Pokaz LIVE: Lowering Cyber Risk - An Interactive Demonstration on how to Reduce Exposure to Weaponized Exploits

The amount of security information that must be processed and actioned on a daily basis is overwhelming to most security teams.  More importantly, how can all of this data help you understand an organization’s risk as it relates to your specific environment?  This presentation will provide a detailed overview of how you can leverage live exploit testing to continuously understand your current security posture and exposure to active weaponized exploits.

NSS Labs has developed a 24/7 monitoring service that provides unprecedented visibility into the weaponized exploits that can bypass your defenses and compromise your network.  It captures exploits and their intended targets from active cyber attack campaigns, and continuously tests those exploits against security products.  Learn how to reduce cyber risk and improve security ROI.
