Scared or Ready: A Pragmatic Way to Approach Security Threats

Security incidents are often making headlines, from ransomware to colossal data leaks. On top of that, making informed security decisions is a challenge in itself, requiring knowledge across product requirements, complex distributed systems, code, architecture, and security. All of which creates a sense of fear, uncertainty, and doubt for those of us who build software. How can we better prepare to respond to potential threats and gain confidence in our security incident response readiness?

Join Max Hedouin, Senior Product Manager at Datadog, as he walks through attack scenarios Datadog has observed in the wild. In this session, you’ll learn about how attackers and defenders think, how observability can be at the root of efficient threat detection & response, and that security doesn’t have to be scary when your organization is well prepared.
