Keynote:
Changing the Security Cat-and-Mouse Cybersecurity Game with Deep Observability

Consider two conflicting realities in cybersecurity: Record-high investments in security tools combined with unprecedented surge in cyberattacks, such as ransomware. Why is that?

A consistent element across numerous modern cyber breaches is the exploitation of network blind spots by threat actors. These "blind spots" encompass east-west perimeter traffic, virtualized traffic in private clouds, containerized traffic, and activities within public cloud infrastructures. Often bypassing traditional firewall defences, these traffics are further obscured through encryption, providing a stealthy avenue for malicious activities.

Learn how Deep Observability shines a new light where threat actors lurk. See how traditional network visibility evolved over the years and how Deep Observability brings the advantage back to threat defence.
