Let’s Talk SOC: Ep1 - Defending the Defenders: Lessons Learned as a CISO

When ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) was introduced to the cybercrime landscape in the mid-2010s, it significantly lowered the bar to entry for cybercriminals. As a result, the scale of ransomware operations expanded, allowing cybercrime groups and their affiliates to exploit more networks resulting in higher revenue. Expertise also improved as each element of the process became specialized, making ransomware the formidable threat it is today. 

 In this session, Senior Security Researcher and intel analysis lead for cybercrime Tim Mitchell will discuss why understanding and tracking the TTPs of everyone involved in ransomware operations is important, regardless of the variant. He’ll also outline why the attribution of precursor activity is important, and how accurately doing so can inform our customers and better protect them from ransomware.

An overreliance on endpoint detection and response (EDR) alone is bound to leave holes in your cyber defense. That’s because cybersecurity incidents now originate from almost anywhere in the IT stack. In the case of our 4,500+ customers, over 60% of essential threat event and detection data comes from beyond the endpoints. 

Join us to learn how evolving threats are outpacing common defense strategies, leading many security organizations to rethink how to strategically upgrade their security and which security partner is best positioned to support them. We’ll also discuss the shortfalls of EDR protection alone — and how many organizations are looking beyond the endpoint for a more effective and efficient approach to cybersecurity. 

What you’ll learn:  
Why cybersecurity needs to move beyond the endpoint to keep pace with evolving threats and a growing attack surface 
The pitfalls of relying too heavily on endpoint detection and response (EDR) in your cyber defenses 
How to strategically improve your cybersecurity and choose the right security partner

FR: Beyond the Endpoint – Tackling Your Biggest Cybersecurity Problems

There’s no doubt that security information and event management (SIEM) platforms provide powerful threat detection tools. But SIEM technology has its (long) list of challenges - cost, skills shortages and configuration hurdles among them. As a result, the security industry is experiencing a shift, with forward-thinking businesses embracing Extended Detection and Response (XDR) due to its ability to offer improved security visibility, operational investigations capabilities and response actions across the enterprise. 

But how can security leaders know that it’s the right time for them to be embracing this shift towards XDR, and what are the best ways to get started on re-solutioning their SIEM technology? 

In ‘3 Signs It Is Time to Re-Solution Your SIEM for XDR’, Secureworks and a guest expert are here to help. Host Nick Cavalancia is joined by Ryan Alban, Senior Manager - Systems Engineering at Secureworks and Carrie Goetz, CTO of StrategITcom, to discuss: 

- The 3 signs every CISO should be aware of that it may be time to embrace XDR over SIEM technology 
- How XDR is enabling security leaders and SecOps teams to prepare for and respond to the current and emerging threat landscape  
- Best practices for getting started on your XDR journey 
- The ROI and resource benefits that XDR can drive 
- And more

3 Signs It Is Time to Re-Solution Your SIEM for XDR

The last few years have seen 10 years of digital transformation compress into 3 years and as a result, the entire architecture behind IT has changed beyond recognition for many organizations.

At the same time, the methods bad actors use to compromise IT infrastructure have also changed and innovated, too. This has resulted in the fact that many organizations' approach to securing their IT infrastructure has fallen behind, and they drastically need to keep up in order to protect their data.

This BrightTALK panel discusses the shifts that have occurred and why so many organizations are now looking to partner and move away from an EDR cybersecurity approach and move to outside assistance in the form of MDR and Managed-XDR. And, how by expecting more, enterprises will be in position to better mitigate against both today’s and tomorrow’s compromises.

Compromises Have Moved Beyond the Endpoint - You Need to Too!

Network defenders often look at "dwell time" – the time between an adversary gaining access and achieving their objectives – as a key metric in understanding threat and risk. Based on Secureworks direct observations through incident response engagements, the average dwell time for post-intrusion ransomware attacks has remained fairly constant this year compared to last, at four and a half days in 2022 compared to five in 2021.  

What that means is that on average an organization has almost a whole working week to detect and contain an intrusion before the lights go out. Understanding how ransomware operators act once inside a network is the key to exploiting this "detection window." 

In this session, Director of Threat Research Chris Yule will lead a roundtable discussion looking at how best we can prepare for and defend against the pervasive threat of ransomware.

Beyond the Endpoint – Tackling Your Biggest Cybersecurity Problems

The rise of AI has made its way to threat detection. With AI-enabled threat detection systems predicting new attacks and notifying admins of data breaches instantly, it’s safe to say that artificial intelligence is making its mark on the security landscape. 
 
But is AI worthy of all the plaudits it's receiving, and is it a silver bullet for threat detection? Or is it ‘just’ the next building block on the road to a robust as possible security set-up? In this Secureworks panel, George Anderson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Secureworks is joined by experts Nash Borges - VP of Software Engineering at Secureworks, Dr Rebecca Wynn - Global Chief Security Strategist & CISO, Click Solutions Group and Simon Ratcliffe - Principal Consultant, Ensono to answer the question: ‘Is AI the panacea to doing threat detection right?’
 
Learn from their experience and insights and join this panel to hear:
- What AI-enabled threat detection looks like in the real-world, away from the hype
- The most common use cases that AI-enabled threat detection makes easier to detect
- Instances where AI could potentially cause CISOs and security leaders more headaches than it removes
- The types of additional contextual prioritization AI can give, and what this means for brand, customer and employee protection
