Jamie Moles, Sr. Manager of Technical Marketing at ExtraHop, explains how blast radius helps security teams understand, calculate, and communicate the impact of a cyberattack. Using real-world breach scenarios and the attack chain, Jamie demonstrates how to move from a massive potential blast radius to the true scope of damage, and why this is critical for incident response, business reporting, and executive communication.
You’ll see how threat actors move laterally across the network, learn how to uncover every device, user account, server, and file they touched, and examine how critical path analysis helps you prevent future attacks.
