The ubiquitous nature of data breaches in the past year has left many enterprises in a state of fatigue and denial about the serious nature of this issue, or their ability to counteract.

Topics will include:
* A quick survey of the high profile threats over the last 18 months

* Best strategies to reduce APT risks
* What is a multi-layered yet unified defence approach to combat APTs
