Guest: 

• Sam Curry,  Chief Security Officer @ Cybereason and Visiting Fellow @ National Security Institute

Topics:

• EDR was “invented” in 2013 and we are now in 2021. What do you consider to be modern EDR components and capabilities?
• Where has EDR fallen short on its initial hype?
• How focused are the attackers on bypassing EDR?
• How do you think EDR works in the cloud?
• In your view, how would future EDR work for containers, microservices, etc?
• Why aren’t we winning the war against ransomware?
• XDR is an interesting concept, so how do you define XDR? Is XDR just EDR++ or is XDR SIEM 4.0?
