Essner has seen the damage up close, time and again, as an incident response leader for 15 years at companies like Accenture and Mandiant. In this webcast, Essner will share war stories and how the lessons he learned culminated in the creation of the CYGNVS platform.

  • The face of the enemy: cyber mules conducting state-sponsored attacks
  • Outcomes from working with law enforcement
  • Four key takeaways every organization needs to prepare for
