Identifying malicious activity in enterprise networks presents many challenges, and defending against advanced threats is a growing priority for security teams in most every industry. But, finding active infections is like searching for a "smoking gun." Today’s threats use the cyber kill chain, but network-based information can provide indicators of compromise even if perimeter-based prevention defenses miss these stealthy, persistent threats.

During this webinar, the speakers will discuss how to apply network-based threat intelligence in the fight against advanced threats. Participants will discover how intelligence from monitoring network traffic can reveal the who, what, where, when, and how of today’s advanced threats and offer ways to interrupt attacks before damage and data exfiltration occurs.

As a result of this webinar, participants will:
