Breachnado: Inside the Threat Ecosystem:

well-known brands in the world have been hit; so have government
agencies and schools. Take a look inside the thriving ecosystem
that makes is possible for criminals to execute attacks from
anywhere in the world.
Featured Speaker:
"It Always Cost More To Recover from a Breach than Prevent
One," John Pescatore, Director of Emerging Threats at
the SANS Institute (News - Alert), offers insight into three things
enterprises can do to lower their risk from a breach. *Spoiler
alert* none of them have to do with compliance. He also suggests
