Topic

Active Defense: Clearing the Legal and Ethical Hurdles

Tom Field

Senior Vice President - Editorial, ISMG

As threat actors hone their social engineering skills and breach tactics, organizations across all sectors and regions are focusing more on active defense – measures to identity and fight back against the threat actors.

But what are the ethical and legal questions to be resolved before deploying active defense? And what are some of the most effective active defense mechanisms?

If you’re looking for new perspectives on these questions, then join Tom Field for an exclusive roundtable discussion where attendees will tackle such topics as:

What does “active defense” mean to your organization, and how are you engaging in it today?
How have you resolved the ethical and legal questions?
How do you address concerns about making your organization even more of a target if you partake in active defense?’

Joining Tom to provide expert insight and case studies is John Wilson, Field CTO of Agari.
