About this event
Over the past week there have been a number of high-profile cyber-attacks in the UK retail sector, which are assessed as being highly likely a ransomware incident attributed the Scattered Spider group, causing major disruption to operations.
These incidents have brought to the fore the ongoing threats to the retail and consumer sectors and highlight the need for robust identity and access management, continuous monitoring, and rapid incident response capabilities for all organisations and businesses. Given the tactics employed by Scattered Spider, similar attacks on other retailers are plausible.
Join Matt Hull, our Global Head of Threat Intelligence, as he shares insights and makes tangible recommendations to help organisations:
- Anticipate and prepare for advanced persistent threats that leverage social engineering and target critical operational environments.
- Take proactive measures, including employee training, system hardening, and incident response planning, to mitigate future risks.
