The Best Defense Against Cyber Attacks You’ve Never Heard Of...
With all the attention paid to the technological sophistication of cyber attacks, as well as to the new technologies arising to strengthen defense, one fact often gets overlooked: Security is fundamentally about people.
The adversary is an intelligent actor – while the target is often human as well. The compromise of sensitive information or functionality may be in the crosshairs, but it’s people that are often targeted to gain a foothold inside the victim organization, through techniques such as phishing or social engineering. But here’s the secret: In this targeting lies one of the most unsuspected – but potentially rich – assets to defense an organization can have.
In this webcast, Scott Crawford, Research Director of Information Security for 451 Research, and Allan Carey, Vice President of Business Development from PhishMe take a closer look at:
•How the targeting of people through phishing, impersonation attacks and social engineering can be leveraged to improve security and resistance to attack
•New tactics and tools that make the most of human engagement to defend organizations against these exploits
•Ways to enhance incident response by incorporating human interactions with malicious activity into the evidence chain

Phishing continues to be the most successful attack technique used by cyber criminals today. Rules-based “secure” email gateways (SEGs) have become front-line technology for catching malicious emails. However, surveys show that phishing emails regularly bypass SEGs, leaving organizations more exposed to compromise.
In this webinar, listen in as Ed Amoroso, CEO & Analyst at TAG Cyber, joined by Cofense CTO & Co-Founder, Aaron Higbee, and Security Solutions Advisor, Tonia Dudley, discuss the results of a recent global survey regarding the efficacy of SEGs and how a layered phishing defense approach can benefit your business.
To defend against phishing, your organization needs to understand the key trends and top threats. Cofense’s Intelligence Team spends every day analyzing phishing threats including credential theft, ransomware campaigns, and more. Learn about the top threats that define today’s phishing landscape and how to defend your organization against them.
- See what tactics are successfully evading secure email gateways and reaching enterprise end users.
- Learn what is trending when it comes to malware delivered via phishing, including ransomware.
- Receive tips for ensuring your phishing defense strategy is proactive and well-coordinated.

Secure email gateways (SEGs) are meant to protect your organization and your employees from the dangers of phishing attacks. Instead, they provide a false sense of security, as phish continue to swim past these gates and land in your end user’s inbox every day.
In this webinar, Cofense co-founder and CTO, Aaron Higbee, and Security Solution Advisor, Tonia Dudley, discuss the technology gaps that keep SEGs from being 100% “secure”, the methods threat actors use to evade them, and how organizations can leverage technology and human intelligence to succeed where SEGs fail.
Listen in to hear:
• What SEGs are, what they aren’t, and why they fail to keep threats out of your inbox.
• Insights on the phishing campaigns that consistently get past SEGs and reach end users.
• Details on specific credential phish and malware threats we’re seeing and the impact a breach could have on your business

It has become cliché to say that the user is the weakest link in cybersecurity. However, it is also true that the user is often the last line of defense — phishing and other potential security attacks often depend on a person clicking on a link or malware-laden file to launch an attack. While a company might have a top notch cybersecurity operations team, without having an equally trained user base the company is essentially defending itself with one hand tied behind its virtual back.
This SC Magazine 20/20 editorial webcast looks at how CISOs can augment their professional cybersecurity team and security operations center with a highly aware user base to identify and defeat potential breaches.

While the fourth quarter of 2019 saw a decrease in total malware volume, Emotet (also known as Geodo) took the spotlight with email reply chains, macro-laden attachments, and convincing phishing templates. Of course, Emotet is just one of many threats currently facing organizations. Defenders need to understand both the current phishing landscape and how it may change in the future to best safeguard themselves from compromises and breaches.
Join Cofense Intelligence for expert analysis of the latest threats and a look at the tactics, techniques, and procedures attackers may use in the coming year.
You will learn:
• The top emergent threats of Q4 2019
• Changes in the phishing threat landscape
• Predictions for the rest of 2020

The threat landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with new threat vectors emerging and increasing in sophistication. With the new year on the horizon, how can organisations prepare to defend against new and emerging attacks? Join James Hickey and David Mount in our webinar as they share their thoughts on what we can expect in 2020 and beyond. Based on insights collected from our research teams, our speakers will touch on trends positioned to dominate the threat landscape next year so you can strengthen your organisational defence.
Attend the webinar and learn:
• How ransomware is evolving and becoming more targeted to reap more sizeable payouts
• Why healthcare and genetic testing organisations will be a rich target for monetising data
• Why cryptocurrency will find itself in the crosshairs
• How human intuition, a powerful weapon against phishing, will also prove essential as information warfare heats up
As the phishing threat landscape continues to evolve at a pace that technology is unable to keep up with, organizations are turning to phishing awareness and simulation programs to plug the gap. Is your phishing awareness program keeping up with this changing landscape?
Join Cofense as we explore the attributes of a modern phishing awareness program and see what our data, based on millions of phishing simulations, shows about awareness programs and simulation exercises.
You will learn:
- The statistical advantage of using an email reporting tool
- The important role the end user plays in active defense
- How often you need to send simulations for maximum resiliency
- The advantages of basing simulations on active threats, not random dangers
- Why ‘phish testing’ is the enemy of true phishing defense
