This year at Black Hat 2017, NTT Security is focusing on incident response readiness. One lucky show participant will win a thorough gap assessment from the NTT Security Incident Response team valued at approximately $15,000 based on 40 hours of professional services*. The promotion spotlights the importance for organizations to formulate a robust incident response program in order to minimize liability in the event their infrastructure is infiltrated.

?The recent WannaCry and Petya ransomware attacks on global infrastructure highlight the importance of having a robust response plan in place before any cyber-incident occurs,? said John Moran, Incident Response Analyst at NTT Security. ?The first step in initializing such a program is to identify your vulnerabilities. Black Hat is the perfect environment to stimulate further discussion on this critical need, and to discuss preventive measures and response planning so organizations can be better protected.?

Subject matter experts from NTT Security and its affiliated companies: NTT Communications, NTT DATA and Dimension Data will be available for consultation at Black Hat 2017 in booth #1854.
