Interview with Rob Allen from Threatlocker

This week, Rob Allen from Threatlocker is with us to discuss the importance of EDR and MDR visibility. We discuss some real world attacks and anecdotes where EDR was able to save the day when threats were missed by other controls.

Topic: Do the basics, they said. Easier said than done.

Guillaume and Adrian discuss the futility of attempting to do all the foundational work standards, best practices, and regulations expect of organizations. Adrian has given up. Fortunately, Guillaume has some excellent advice and hope to share on this front.
