Cybersecurity is Not a Solo Endeavor – A Recap of it-sa Expo&Congress 2024

by Nov 4, 2024

In an era where cyberattacks are escalating in both frequency and complexity, establishing robust networks of technology partners and clients is essential for achieving success in cybersecurity. At it-sa Expo&Congress 2024, Europe’s leading cybersecurity industry event, we had the opportunity to showcase our commitment to this collaborative approach with our very own booth for the first time. This significant step has allowed us to elevate our engagement with partners, existing customers, and new contacts to new heights.

Learning from Intelligence Services: Unmasking APTs like the Pros

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to present to an audience at it-sa. I discussed the serious risks Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) pose to organizations, in my talk titled “Learning from Intelligence Services: Unmasking APTs Like the Pros”. (The presentation was delivered in German and can be found here on our Youtube Channel.) I also outlined strategies for the detection of these threats, which can be applied across various industries. It was encouraging to see many attendees express interest after the presentation, visiting our booth to learn more about our solutions and their advantages. 

Meet THOR: Detecting the Undetected

THOR is an advanced compromise assessment scanner designed to uncover traces of malicious activity across corporate networks. By automating forensic analysis, it identifies and neutralizes threats before they escalate, ensuring swift detection of malicious artifacts and providing security teams with the insights needed to mitigate potential damage. THOR enables organizations to enhance their security posture and respond effectively to both known and unknown threats.

Effective Cybersecurity extends beyond mere technological solutions

Conversations with customers, partners, and industry experts at it-sa reaffirmed our conviction that cybersecurity success relies on more than just technology. It calls for a collaborative mindset – one that values knowledge exchange, shared experiences, and expert insights.  

We are excited to continue this journey alongside our partners and clients. By working together, we aim to build a security framework that is both resilient and sustainable. The insights we gained at it-sa will be integrated into our daily operations, ensuring our clients’ defenses stay strong in an ever-evolving landscape.
