The New IT Imperative: How to Secure Mobile Devices

Paul Pearston, Cisco CCIE (Security), CESG Listed Advisor (CLAS) and PCI QSA
Mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones are improving productivity, collaboration and efficiency, but their rapid growth also presents serious security risks to organisations. If a mobile device is stolen, hacked or lost, there is a risk that sensitive data will be lost as well.

And the threats are not only confined to data loss. Malware in the form of Trojans, viruses and worms and unauthorised network access attacks are also growing risks. How can you reduce these risks? Are security technologies and services keeping up with the changes in the mobile IT environment? Which are most effective?

Paul Pearston, a Senior Security Engineer at Dell SecureWorks, will discuss the most serious security threats to mobile devices and will recommend specific approaches for securing the mobile organisation during this 30-minute complimentary webcast.

Topics covered on this webcast include:

• The evolving landscape of the mobile enterprise
• Security threats in the mobile enterprise
• Risk management and compliance considerations
• Approaches for securing IT-issued and employee preferred mobile devices

Paul is a highly experienced Security Architect with over fifteen years’ experience designing, implementing and auditing all forms of security solutions and services ranging from identity and access management through to governance, risk and compliance. The design and delivery of network security controls and event monitoring solutions for large scale environments is an area Paul has considerable expertise in.

  • As more applications have moved to the cloud, the industry has seen a proliferation of application security issues. In 2012, several cloud service providers were breached as a direct result of application security vulnerabilities. Before you choose a cloud service provider, make sure that it answers the series of security questions created by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). CSA has created a checklist of industry-accepted ways to document what security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings – creating more transparency for enterprises. The speakers will walk attendees through this blueprint, helping them to become more adept at identifying service provider security readiness. They'll also discuss some of the most common application vulnerabilities, including unencrypted passwords, SQL Injection, and those that impact poorly architected mobile apps.

  • Investigating and Remediating Security Incidents: How Prepared Are You? Jun 7 2013 3:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Do you suspect you have a security incident? Time is of the essence. Your initial approach can determine how much damage the cyber security incident does—or does not do—to your organization.

    What if you could reduce the time it takes to investigate and remediate a security incident from days to minutes? Join us for this webcast to learn how you can improve your incident response by:

    •Locating every instance of a suspicious file across your endpoints and servers
    •Knowing if the malware executed, when, and what it did
    •Stopping an attack and preventing it from happening again
    •Analyzing files that arrive on your endpoints and servers to quickly determine their risk
  • Digital Forensics and Incident Response – Why You Need Them Both Jun 7 2013 12:00 am UTC 45 mins
    Nobody wants to fall sick, and yet we all do. By the same token, nobody expects their systems to be breached, and yet it happens. When that happens, companies need a blend of Digital Forensics and Incident Response expertise to deal with the incident. However, the distinction between these two related but different services and their roles in responding to a breach are often not clear to the victims of the breach. In this session, Vivek Chudgar, Director of FireEye Labs (APAC), will explain the key differences between Digital Forensics and Incident Response and demystify the role each service plays in effectively responding to a breach.

  • Targeted Attacks 101 - Eight Incident Response Steps Jun 6 2013 5:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Is your business safe from malware and targeted attacks? Sophisticated attacks now leverage social engineering techniques and malware to compromise those individuals already on the inside of your enterprise, and then target your data. This session covers the basics of how this continues to happen, despite more money than ever being spent on perimeter and endpoint defenses. We’ll present an eight step incident response model to help prevent, detect and respond to these attacks.
  • Incident Response Panel - Reimagining the Modern Enterprise Security Paradigm Jun 6 2013 4:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Today's accepted wisdom is that there are only two types of organizations, those that have been breached and know it and those that have been breached and don't. With this new vision comes the realization that building perimeter defenses is no longer enough, but that remediation, situational awareness and fast response time are what separate well secured organizations from the rest.

    Join this panel as they discuss the transition to an incident response world and the important operational and philosophical battles that will define it - from the federal and commercial perspectives to using forensics for risk analysis and IT investment and the attribution debate.

    Panel:

    Tom Field, Vice President, Editorial, Information Security Media Group (moderator)
    Bill Hau, VP of FireEye Labs,
    Pete Allor, Steering Committee member of FIRST

  • Threat Indicators: Telltale Signs You’ve Been Owned Jun 5 2013 6:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Based on recent high-profile reports of attackers compromising victims long before the breach is discovered, many security professionals want to know: “Are we already compromised?”

    Ben Feinstein, Director of our Counter Threat Unit’s operations and development teams, will discuss threat indicators and the subtle traces of an attacker’s tradecraft and presence in your environment. Ben will share findings from helping organizations defend against targeted attacks, focusing on tactics, techniques and procedures exhibited by organized cybercriminals and APT. He will also discuss using threat indicators to learn about the adversary and show how vital this intelligence is to successful incident response.

    Key Topics:

    · Understanding threat indicators that suggest your organization may already be compromised

    · Inspecting networks and hosts for signs of compromise

    · Strategies for response when attacker presence is found

  • Detecting File Execution: What Runs but Never Walks Jun 5 2013 5:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    In this webinar, I will begin with a brief discussion of the different types of attackers, and show how all threat actors are not equal. Then, I will discuss four main ways attackers execute code in a Windows environment. Reviewing real cases of recent attacks, I will show how to detect file execution using static, dynamic, and advanced analysis techniques. I will show how to use artifacts such as the Windows registry, logs, prefetch files, and network data to determine whether an attacker executed files. Finally, there will be a discussion of tools used for forensic analysis, including free tools such as the ShimCacheParser and MANDIANT Redline.
  • Full Security Visibility For Effective Incident Response Jun 5 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Despite significant time and effort deploying multiple security solutions, incident responders know more than anyone that existing signature-based, “set it and forget it” security technologies have not stopped the advanced persistent threat. Signature- and rule-based technologies are easily evaded with today’s advanced targeted attacks, morphing malware and zero-day threats. Tools like FireEye’s Malware Analysis System are effective in dealing with zero-day malware, but being able to detect this threat does not mean complete resolution.

    In addition, sophisticated attackers employ social engineering or take advantage of misconfigurations in security technologies to breach networks – without using any malware at all. Incident responders need full visibility of everything that is going through the network to understand the nature of how a threat originated, see what attackers actually did to take control over the network, and to answer the questions of what they did after they compromised systems. This session will provide an overview of Big Data Security Intelligence and Analytics and how full security visibility can answer the toughest post-breach questions so you can quickly determine the full source, scope and material impact of an incident.
  • Top 10 Mistakes Incident Response Teams Make Jun 5 2013 3:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    When it comes to organizations experiencing some form of cyber-attack, the adage still rings true: it’s not a question of if but when. Advanced malware, zero-day exploits, and targeted advanced persistent threats (APTs) have kept organizations on their heels and searching for ways to protect themselves. Incident Response teams are being forced to re-examine their existing IT security defenses and attempt to stay ahead of the attack curve. Surprisingly, many incident response teams aren’t doing themselves any favors with practices they have implemented.

    Attend this webinar to learn the top 10 mistakes that Incident Response teams make and what you can do to make sure you aren’t making them yourselves.
  • Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: The (In)Security of Vendor-Supplied Software May 30 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
