2024 Cybersecurity Predictions

No company is an island anymore, and enterprises typically have hundreds and even thousands of vendors. To complicate the matrix of interconnectivity, most companies are themselves within the supply chain, or at a minimum, clients for businesses, including cyber insurers. Organizations struggle to understand the risks within their supply chain because of a lack of transparency beyond their own organization, and often don’t have a good sense of their own security posture or the effectiveness of their controls.
In this session, join Chris Poulin, Director of Technology and Strategy and Deputy CTO at Bitsight, to learn how to:
• Assess the security program and controls of your vendors using observable data;
• Manage your cybersecurity reputation as a competitive advantage;
• Right-size your insurance limits and premiums.

Glass Doors Make Everyone More Secure

Les attaques via la supply chain étant devenues de plus en plus fréquentes au cours des dernières années, les organisations doivent mettre leurs tiers sous les feux de la rampe afin de prévenir les attaques et d'améliorer leur propre position en matière de cybersécurité. L'augmentation des piratages de tiers montre à quel point il est important d'avoir une visibilité sur l'ensemble de la chaîne d'approvisionnement - y compris les fournisseurs des fournisseurs - et d'en atténuer les risques.

Rejoignez-nous pour une présentation des bonnes pratiques de gestion du risque tiers dans la cyber, y compris :
- Un retour sur quelques scénarios types récents et les leçons que l'on peut en tirer
- La mise en place de workflow automatisé d'évaluation et de questionnaires pour gérer efficacement ce risque à grande échelle.

Bonnes pratiques pour préparer et sécuriser votre supply chain

In today’s economic environment, nearly every department in every organization across the globe is being challenged to do more with less. Meanwhile, digital footprints continue to grow and sprawl and cyber attackers look to take advantage of vulnerable infrastructure. Organizations need to assess how they can be more resourceful as they look to maintain a best-in-class cyber risk program and continue to meet business expectations. 

The first step to managing your cyber risk program is to have full visibility of your organization’s extended attack surface and the risk that comes with it. And, you need the ability to communicate your strategy and program performance to stakeholders like the Board – this is more important than ever with the adoption of new SEC Regulations.

Join Gregory Keshian and Vanessa Jankowski as they dive into:
● How to maximize the value of your organization’s current tools while fending off cyber threats
● How continuously monitoring your extended attack surface can help identify priorities to reduce exposure and secure your infrastructure

Is your organisation ready for the new cyber regulations in the EU and the UK?

Changes in the cyber risk landscape have led to an increase in vulnerabilities affecting the digital supply chain and an elevated level of scrutiny from business leaders, regulators, and other influencers.

Zero-days reflect a specific type of vulnerabilities within this broader trend, and one that often comes with high demands on cyber security and third-party risk management teams. The reason is clear – for these vulnerabilities, organizations have had “zero days” to work on a patch or a fix, which leaves them open to exploitation by motivated bad actors.

At Bitsight, our goal is always to provide timely, actionable evidence for customers dealing with zero-day vulnerabilities.

Join us to learn more about: 
- How to detect, manage and mitigate vulnerabilities with speed;
- Exposure management across your portfolio;
- How to scale and improve your response to vulnerabilities across your supply chain.

Improving Vulnerability Detection and Response Across your Supply Chain

Cybersecurity leaders face various challenges in protecting their organization's digital assets from cyber threats. With the rise in cloud infrastructure, internet-connected devices, and third-party vendors, the attack surface has expanded, and the number of vulnerabilities and risks has increased dramatically. This has led to enormous pressure from stakeholders, including executives, board members, customers, business partners, regulators, insurers, and investors, to ensure the organization's protection.

Despite the risks, recent BitSight research revealed that the average vulnerability remediation rate is only 5 percent per month, which is concerning given the criticality of vulnerability management in reducing the likelihood of a cyber incident.

During this session, we'll explore these key issues: 

● The current cybersecurity landscape 
● How cybersecurity leaders can improve awareness of their organization's digital assets and risks 
● How to strengthen vulnerability and exposure management programs 
● Creating trust among critical internal and external stakeholders. 

Join BitSight’s Vice President of Government Affairs, Jacob Olcott, as he shares innovative and comprehensive solutions that can help cybersecurity leaders identify their attack surface, enhance their vulnerability management programs, and communicate their success to stakeholders effectively.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and strategies to reduce organizational risk and foster a culture of trust in an insecure world.

Creating Trust in an Insecure World: Strategies for CISOs

BitSight’s research team works tirelessly to discover vulnerabilities that pose threats to organizations. Most recently, Pedro Umbelino, Principal Security Researcher at BitSight, uncovered thousands of organizations using internet-facing and exposed webcams. His findings?
