Inside a Cyber Breach: How Attacks Really Unfold

Cyber breaches rarely happen all at once. They unfold step by step, often starting with something small and easily overlooked; a phishing email, a weak password, a compromised account. By the time the damage is visible, the attacker has already been inside for a while.

In this masterclass, Ricardo Galbiati, Regional Chief Security Officer JAPAC at Palo Alto Networks, walks you through how an attack actually begins, spreads, and impacts an organisation. You'll see how attackers think, where organisations are most exposed, and why the biggest risks are so often the ones nobody flagged.

The session gets into how attackers are using Gen-AI to make that possible, and why the human behaviours we all default to are making it easier than it should be.

What you'll take away:

• How breaches actually happen in practice, not just in theory
• Where the most common vulnerabilities exist and why they're so easy to miss
• How everyday AI usage can inadvertently create risk
• How attackers exploit small gaps to create major impact
• What actions can prevent and detect an attack early
