Matthews’ presentation aimed to give delegates insight into the anatomy of cyber-attacks – the Cyber-Kill Chain. The presentation sparked discussions about the necessity of a proactive approach to securing the endpoint – using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) technology and Threat hunting tools, versus reactive threat detection methods. The reality being that it is critical that organisations have new generation EDR technology in place. Beyond the implementation of an EDR solution, Matthews shared his insights into additional proactive measures that organisations should employ.

“The ITWeb Security Summit was an invaluable opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about the current security challenges and the technology that enables business continuity by proactively protecting business networks” says Matthews. “Information security events like this are key in understanding and resolving the difficulties we face today”, said Matthews.
