With a massive spike in ATO attacks off the back of our shift to a truly digital world in the wake of the pandemic, it’s more important than ever to stay abreast of the latest trends in attack methods and defensive maneuvers.

  • Why ATO attacks have spiked 300%;
  • What most companies are overestimating in their ATO prevention strategies;
  • What’s really working in the fight to prevent ATO.
