How can We Make the Attacker's Job Suck More?
We're routinely told that the attacker has the advantage. Nothing could be further from the truth. You have the home court advantage. In fact, you build the court. By following some simple best practices, you can make the attacker's job suck big time. I personally enjoy the idea of an attacker having to abandon their night out or other social activities because I've stopped them from getting to their goal. In this portion of the webcast, we'll cover a few best practices you can follow that will deliver hour after hour of frustration to your attackers (while simultaneously making the attacker easier to detect).
