What happens when a major cybersecurity breach occurs, and who are the shadowy figures behind these devastating attacks?
In the aftermath of a cyber breach, the clock is ticking. Quick and effective decisions must be made to contain the resulting damage and protect critical systems. Beyond the technical response, cybersecurity professionals must navigate a complex landscape of legal, regulatory, and operational challenges to minimize the fallout ─ which can be a daunting task for the unprepared.

Janosek, CEO of Janos LLC, Cristiana Kittner, Chief Analyst with Google Cloud, and Matt Shelton, Google’s Head of Threat Analysis and Research, to discuss lessons learned from cyber breaches.
