500 Incidents Later: Real-World Cyber Defense
Federico

Our CSIRT found that in 4 out of 5 security incidents, there were pre-existing alerts.

Most organizations don't get breached because they lack tools. They get breached because of predictable, repeatable mistakes. The kind our SOC and CSIRT teams at ACEN see across 500+ incidents in European organizations.

This session breaks down the patterns and numbers that matter: where attackers consistently get in, what organizations consistently miss, how many hours go into responding to an incident, and what separates the ones that contain a breach from the ones that don't.
