For years, we’ve seen attackers target organizations via their people.

Bhagwat Swaroop, of Proofpoint, will outline strategies for gaining visibility and mitigating risk in a people-centric threat landscape.

Join to learn:

Why nearly all threat actors have shifted away from technical exploits to compromise their targets
How organizations can leverage threat data to understand which people and departments are highly targeted
