Graham Cluley Security News is sponsored this week by the folks at Nehemiah Security. Thanks to the great team there for their support!

Nehemiah Security operates throughout an enterprises’ network to make security operations – and the business – run better.

Security teams struggle to quantify the protection levels of their networks, endpoints and data assets. Nehemiah Security’s AtomicEye RQ (Risk Quantifier) provides organizations with a security scorecard as well as actionable suggestions on how to better resist a vast range of cyberattacks.

Watch the free webinar to see AtomicEye RQ:

  • Virtualize a complex environment
  • Prepare an experiment using real exploits
  • Launch the attack
  • Quantify the results

Can you justify your security spend?
