Key Insights from the 2023 Cyberthreat Defense Report

How frequently are advanced threats actually bypassing your email security controls?

One of the greatest challenges to protecting end users from high impact email attacks is detecting identity deception. Fortra has conducted an analysis of real end user phishing reports to determine which advanced threat types evade common secure email gateways and the frequency which they occur to better understand how enterprises can stop these attacks.

John Wilson, Senior Fellow, Threat Research, walks us through the results of the analysis and what security teams can do to prevent attacks left unchecked by their SEG. You will learn:

The volume of malicious messages making it into inboxes on a per user basis
Which threat types were least likely to be blocked by security tools
The performance of the most common SEG vendors
What businesses can do to address the gaps in their email security

What's Making It Past Secure Email Gateways?

Cybercriminals register hundreds of thousands of look-alike domains every year to carry out a wide variety of attacks. Impersonating trusted healthcare organizations, they send deceptive emails that convince recipients to transfer money, hand over sensitive medical data, and click on links that deliver malware.

In this webinar, we'll show how look-alike domains serve as the foundation for multiple types of cyberthreats and best practices for preventing BEC, ransomware, and phishing attacks.

You’ll learn:
- How multiple threats are created, often with the same domain
- What to look for when collecting domain intelligence
- Actionable strategies for getting malicious domains taken offline

Healthcare Cyberthreats: How to Combat BEC, Ransomware, and Phishing Attacks

Cybercriminals constantly evolve their tactics to evade detection. This is especially true for phishing campaigns. Threat actors frequently use new techniques to make phishing sites more difficult to detect, leading to more stolen credentials and greater fraud losses.

In this 30-minute session, PhishLabs will detail the top techniques cybercriminals use to keep phishing sites under the radar and how to counteract them.

You’ll learn:
• The top techniques used by cybercriminals
• How these techniques evade intelligence and detection technologies
• Countermeasures to defeat evasion techniques

What Threat Actors Don’t Want You to Know: Active Evasion Techniques

As retail brands expand their online presence to selling goods and engaging with consumers, threat actors are leveraging the credibility of reputable organizations to profit off of cannibalized sales. 

Counterfeit storefronts mimic legitimate brands using look-alike domains, copyrighted content, and stolen intellectual property. Threat actors also integrate trusted payment applications to increase their odds of deceiving would-be buyers. 

In this webinar, PhishLabs experts will break down the online counterfeit landscape with real-world intelligence and examples of attacks targeting retailers. Additionally, presenters will provide a framework security teams can implement to disrupt unauthorized storefronts and protect your brand.
