Free IT Training Events: Expert Webinars & Workshops

Your traditional security isn’t stopping today’s attacks. Here’s what will.

 The Problem Every NZ Business Faces

Your business has antivirus software. You have firewalls. You’ve implemented email filtering. Yet cybercriminals are increasingly successful at bypassing these traditional defences using sophisticated techniques that don’t trigger conventional security alerts.

The uncomfortable truth? Most modern breaches happen despite having security measures in place. Attackers aren’t breaking down your doors—they’re stealing legitimate credentials and walking right through them.

Understanding Managed Detection and Response (MDR)

• Why assuming threats will get past your defences is smarter than assuming they won’t
• How continuous monitoring and expert threat hunting catch what traditional security misses
• The difference between having security tools and having someone watching them 24/7
• Real-world example: How rapid detection prevents ransomware from spreading

Understanding Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR)

• Why 80% of breaches now involve compromised credentials, not technical exploits
• How attackers use legitimate accounts to move through your systems undetected
• What makes identity systems uniquely vulnerable and why they need specialized protection
• The attack patterns ITDR stops: credential theft, privilege escalation, lateral movement

How These Work Together

• Why you need both environment monitoring (MDR) and identity protection (ITDR)
• How layered security creates comprehensive defence against modern attack methods
• Practical guidance on when your business needs these capabilities
• What to look for in MDR/ITDR solutions and providers

Who Should Attend

This webinar is designed for:

• Business Owners & Executives who need to understand modern cybersecurity without technical overwhelm
• IT Managers evaluating whether current security measures match today’s threat landscape
