"In this world of ever evolving threats and threat actors, we not only need to be prepared to respond, but we must react and respond accurately," said Groark. "A solid approach must not only consider how to anticipate new vulnerabilities but how to also quickly isolate and remediate threats when they penetrate our defenses. During Alabama Cyber NOW, I will discuss key steps to take both right and left of boom. As a result, you will discover new ways to further minimize risk and improve your security posture."

Groark, a security-industry expert, joined Veristor in 2017 following her career with Southern Company where she served in various leadership roles for both infrastructure and application teams providing critical business solutions across the enterprise. For five years, she served as the Southern Company's IT Security Director, Threat Management & Intelligence.
