Shop Talk: A Race Against the Clock: The Need for Speed to Recovery sponsored by CrowdStrike

When a breach occurs, speed to remediation and recovery is critical to minimize the impact on your business. Advanced persistent threats can quickly break out across your network, infecting your endpoints, laterally moving across your systems and disrupting your business operations. These very sophisticated, sustained cyberattacks often establish multiple points of undetected persistence in your network in order to infect your systems with malware or steal sensitive data over a prolonged period of time. These attacks are carefully planned and designed to infiltrate your organization, evade existing security measures and fly under the radar. Most importantly, if coordinated and effective countermeasures are not taken to remove all points of persistence, the attacker will continue to reinfect systems after initial remediation, causing further delays and interruptions to business recovery.

• Eric Bodkin, Director, Endpoint Recovery Services, CrowdStrike
• Adam Cottini, Director of Business Development – Americas Legal and Insurance Verticals, CrowdStrike
