Initial entry to resilience: understanding modern attack flows and this week's news - Warwick Webb - ESW #444

From Initial Entry to Resilience: Understanding Modern Attack Flows

Modern cyberattacks don’t unfold as isolated alerts--they move as coordinated attack flows that exploit gaps between tools, teams, and time. In this episode, Warwick Webb, Vice President of Managed Detection and Response at SentinelOne, breaks down how today’s breaches often begin invisibly, progress undetected through siloed security stacks, and accelerate faster than human response alone can handle. He’ll discuss how unified platforms, machine-speed detection powered by global threat intelligence, and expert-led response change the equation--turning fragmented signals into clear attack narratives. The conversation concludes with how organizations can move beyond incident response to build resilience, readiness, and continuous improvement through post-attack analysis. Listeners will leave with a clearer understanding of how attacks actually unfold in the real world—and what it takes to move from reactive alert handling to true attack-flow-driven defense.
