You can only stop attackers from gaining a foothold in your network to expand their presence if you can see them.  The indicators of a breach are often first observed within the network itself, therefore network monitoring and forensics plays an essential role in helping to detect, respond, and naturalize attacks.

In this June 8th webinar sponsored by DigitalEra, LogRhythmn’s Emily Henriksen will discuss how to quickly identify emerging threats in your IT environment using network monitoring and forensic tools.

Join this webinar to learn:

* How to quickly identify emerging threats in your IT environment using network monitoring and forensic tools

* What Network Monitor is and the important role it plays in your security operations strategy

* Real-life use cases that highlight the power of Network Monitor

* How Network Monitor works with SIEM to reduce the mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-respond (MTTR) to cyber attacks

{{date_event:2017-05-25}} You’re invited to join us for the first in a series of webinars sponsored by DigitalEra and presented by LogRhythmn “Reducing the Time To Detect Ransomware in your Network”.

Over the past three years, ransomware has jumped into the spotlight of the cyberthreat landscape. Until recently, most ransomware attacks were simply opportunistic and mostly affected individual users’ or small businesses’ computers. The ransom demands have commonly been the equivalent of just a few hundred dollars for an individual PC.

In this webinar, LogRhythmn’s Manija Poulatova discusses how to leverage SIEM technology to catch and respond to ransomware to prevent it from spreading and reaching the critical mass.

The Webinar is slated for 12:00 Noon ET.
