Presented by ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe alongside Security Monitoring Analyst James Rodewald and Field Sales Engineer Jorge Andino Jr., the webinar will shed light on the efficacy of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) in enhancing organizational security posture and incident response. Together they will delve into the complexities of combatting emerging threats, such as multi-extortion ransomware, through the utilization of MDR services.
