    30-Minute Security How-To: Remediate a Malware Infection


    Threat actors constantly change their tactics to evade security controls — which is why malware is a moving target.

    A malware infection can create serious damage, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with limited resources and security staff. That’s why it’s important to have an incident response plan that details what to do if malware hits. 

    Join Blumira’s Mike Behrmann, Director of Security, and Erica Mixon, Content Marketing Manager, as they go through tips for developing a malware remediation plan. They’ll cover:

    • How to incorporate NIST guidance into each step of your remediation plan
    • Challenges that SMBs face when it comes to malware remediation
    • Best practices to navigate scoping — a notoriously difficult but crucial stage of incident response
    • How Blumira helps small teams easily monitor, identify and get alerted about attacker behavior

    This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers – so sign up today for access to our security experts.
