Endpoint now covers a wide variety of devices, and organisations invest heavily in trying to secure them. So why is it that malware attacks such as ransomware are still so prevalent. We discuss how securing the endpoint needs to go beyond protecting the individual endpoint, to protect the diverse range of endpoints that make up an organisation.

Extended detection and response, or "XDR," is on every security vendor’s marketing these days. But what is XDR and why do you need it? Is it an architecture or a product, and will it replace stuff you already have? This presentation explains what you need to know about XDR and what you should do about it.

The high profile and intractability of ransomware attacks has been a big payday for the organizations behind these attacks. Reporting revenues in the $100s of Millions, todays threat landscape is witnessing a burgeoning "private sector" of threat actors with defense-grade techniques.

Motivated by financial gain, a greater volume and scope of targets means greater "success." Responding requires key investments in endpoint security, backup and recovery, and a mix of services to back up your team before, during and after an attack, something Gartner found only 13% of firms surveyed were able to avoid in 2021.
