Cyberattacks happen every day, and MSPs and MSSPs are positioned to be the defenders for end user organizations and also for individuals. It’s the service providers who can be the heroes here, by understanding how the dark side works and being the “Jedis” in the war against cybercrime.
That’s the message you’ll hear from Simon-David Williams, Star Wars fan and the CEO of Group ISM in Quebec, Canada. Williams’ company itself has survived a major cyberattack and helped take down the perpetrators. He has also helped organizations fight back in 37 additional major cybercrimes.
Williams will talk about this background during his keynote address at MSSP Alert Live, Oct. 9-11 in Washington, DC.
Then he will take you on a tour of the dark side, showing the audience techniques and tips for exploring the Dark Web without getting hurt. You won’t want to miss this presentation that will take you into a world where many of us are afraid to go without an experienced guide. You can register here for MSSP Alert Live.
