A response to ever-increasing cyber-risk, the Network and Information Systems 2 (NIS2) directive will significantly affect European Union countries and nation-states in its periphery by the end of 2024. 

NIS2 will bring into the category of critical national infrastructure (CNI) companies which are not currently considered to be part of CNI, and it require those companies to disclose network and computer systems incidents. Failure to do so can result in significant financial penalties. 

Therefore, companies need to think about how they will cope with NIS2 and prepare to comply. 

Register for this webinar for a comprehensive review of NIS2, hosted by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) Senior Analyst Brian McKenna, who joins Dr. Sebastian Schmerl, Arctic Wolf Director of Security Services in EMEA, on February 27th, 2024, at 11am GMT.  

These experts discuss everything you need to know about NIS2, including deadlines, how NIS2 compares to the original NIS, how companies should prepare, and who will be impacted.

Synovus CISO Kevin Gowen and Arctic Wolf CTO Christopher Fielder discuss tactical and strategic actions to ensure security operating practices remain nimble.

Optimizing Security Postures Through Effective Security Operations

Organizations spend a lot of effort enhancing their cybersecurity, building defenses that cyberthreats can’t penetrate. 

Yet despite all the preparation, many attackers sidestep them all together, through social engineering and targeting busy employees, who if left unprepared, can be tricked into opening a side-door, bypassing the defences your IT team has constructed. Frustrating responders as the volume of attacks increase. 

It’s time to shut that door. 
 
New to the Arctic Wolf Platform, Managed Security Awareness educates employees and prepares them   to recognize and neutralize social engineering attacks. 

More than training, Arctic Wolf combines content, quizzes, and simulations. Plus a personal touch – awareness coaching for your IT team. 

Enlighten employees, change their behavior, and make them an active part of your cyber defense. Keeping them, and your entire company secure.

Arctic Wolf Managed Security Awareness

With thousands of cybersecurity products and services available, most technology leaders still struggle to answer one question: "What do I really need to keep my team and our customers safe?"

Organizations need to monitor their environment to detect and respond to threats that inevitably crop up. There are three major approaches to solving this security conundrum: endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), or managed security service provider (MSSPs).  This webinar compares and contrasts the three approaches so you have the right questions in hand when considering your options.
 
What you will learn:
Why monitoring, detection and response is an essential element of a robust security strategy
What elements comprise the EDR, MDR, and MSSP solution approaches?
How do these approaches take advantage of the cloud as well as monitor cloud assets?
What is the security “sweet spot” for EDR, MDR and MSSP approaches?

Comparing EDR, MDR, and MSSPs for Security Monitoring, Detection, & Response

Recent ransomware attacks have halted business operations, disrupted emergency services, and forced closures of schools, hospitals, and government entities.  

In October 2019, the FBI released a dire warning: prepare for increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, or risk losing business-critical data permanently.

In the face of mounting threats, organizations need to comes to terms with the grim reality that ransomware is not likely to disappear in the foreseeable future. In light of advanced, persistent attacks, IT teams need to have strategies in place to combat the growing threats.

In this webinar, attendees will learn:
- Why ransomware continues to be a growing problem
- How to reduce your risk of ransomware
- How to prepare your organization to respond to a ransomware incident

Ransomware Reality: Dispelling the Myths

99% of all cyberattacks require some level of human interaction or intervention. Bad actors follow the path of least resistance, so it’s no surprise that human behavior can be your organization’s biggest cybersecurity risk. 

Although no single approach is effective on its own in preventing negligence and insider threats; adding layers of people risk diligence to cybersecurity policies can greatly reduce your insider threat exposure. 

During this webinar, we’ll look at some recent examples of insider threats, cover methods for reducing your insider threat exposure, and focus on how you can minimize people risk from effective cyber security training to methods for managing your cyber risk profile.

People Risk: Understanding Your Most Important & Most Vulnerable Assets

From global enterprises to small cities and counties, no industry was spared from cyberattacks in 2019. Millions of records were stolen, internal operations slowed to a halt, and communications teams worked overtime to explain exactly what happened to disgruntled stakeholders, despite a lack of immediate answers.

For security leaders, 2019 breaches underscored that cyberattacks were no longer a question of “if?” but “when?”

In this webinar, cybersecurity industry veteran Louis Evans will recap some of the most damaging breaches of 2019, including those experienced by Capital One, LabCorp and Quest, Texas local government entities, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to understand what went wrong and how to protect your organization from similar threats.

Attendees will learn:

- Techniques employed by internal and external actors to access and steal sensitive information
- Where breached organizations had weaknesses that could be exploited by cybercriminals
- What lessons can be gleaned from 2019 cyberattacks, and how your organization can avoid becoming a target

2019 Data Breaches: What We’ve Learned From The Worst Year in Cybersecurity

Nearly all organizations have some cloud footprint, from traditional businesses using SaaS office applications such as Salesforce or Office365, to cloud-first firms running exclusively in AWS or Azure. These cloud solutions offer powerful new ways to drive business efficiencies—but they also expose companies to a new universe of risk.
 
IT managers may mistakenly assume that cloud security is out of their hands, for better or worse. But this assumption isn’t true. That’s why it’s incumbent upon businesses to develop a sound security strategy as they migrate to the cloud, while also becoming a proactive security partner with their cloud providers. If not, they’ll find themselves vulnerable to attack.
 
This webinar offers strategic insight on how to bolster your cloud security, as Arctic Wolf experts discuss:
 - The top cybersecurity risks–and best practices for securing cloud deployments
 - How Arctic Wolf™ Managed Detection and Managed Risk complement cloud-native security features across major cloud platforms
 - Arctic Wolf’s role in integrating observations from cloud and on-premise systems

Frost & Sullivan TCO Analysis: Building Your Own SOC vs. Buying SOC-as-a-Service

For modern businesses, a Security Operations Center (SOC) is no longer an option. It is a necessity. But building and maintaining a fully functional SOC is a daunting proposition. Cost is a top consideration, driven overwhelmingly by a SOC’s need for a high number of in-demand security experts. Hiring, training, and retaining the necessary talent to staff a SOC is flatly impractical for many businesses.
 
Fortunately there is a viable alternative to a DIY SOC: SOC-as-a-Service.
 
In this webinar, Michael Suby, VP of Research at Frost & Sullivan, will highlight the compelling value proposition of SOC-as-a-Service compared to building and maintaining an in-house SOC. Included in this webinar are:
 
- Real-world use cases of businesses subscribing to SOC-as-a-Service
- Head-to-Head quantitative cost comparisons between SOC-as-a-Service and DIY SOC
- Attributes to demand in a SOC-as-a-Service offering

About our key speaker: 

A 17-year veteran at Frost & Sullivan, Michael Suby, VP of Research, has concentrated on the evolving threat landscape, practices, and technologies in cybersecurity. Quick to engage on risk and response, Mr. Suby habitually examines emerging cybersecurity technologies before they reach mainstream. Recent examples include server-less security, deception, dynamic defenses, content disarm & reconstruct, remote browser isolation, and cloud access & security brokers (CASB). In partnership with a team of highly experienced cybersecurity analysts at Frost & Sullivan, Mr. Suby is also intimately involved in researching how traditional cybersecurity solutions and platforms are addressing the diverse challenges and pressures encountered by IT and security practitioners.
