“If people are exfiltrating data out of your organization, there’s lots of telltale signs that they’re exporting emails, or they’re forwarding emails to odd places. Who is looking at your logs to just see if bad behaviour is happening? And this is where these discovery sessions highlight these gaps that no one is thinking about. And then, we can apply the control and the tool to help you deal with it.” - Ronnie Scott, Charter, Chief Technology Officer
