Mandiant is a recognized leader in dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services. By scaling decades of frontline experience, Mandiant helps organizations to be confident in their readiness to defend against and respond to cyber threats. Mandiant is now part of Google Cloud.

The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, and defenders have the challenging task of keeping up. By exploring the trends we see today, we can improve our cyber readiness and be better prepared for the year ahead. 

To help organizations navigate the cyber landscape in 2024, security expert Andrew Kopcienski is presenting a deep-dive session to cover many of the topics discussed in the latest Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2024 report, including:

- Tactics and tools to steal credentials
- SMS phishing, notably to access environments
- Increasing use of zero-days
- More targeting of edge and other devices

Google Cloud Cybersecurity Forecast 2024

Attack surface data is the ever-increasing amount of information that attackers can use to exploit vulnerabilities in an organization's systems and networks. One of the biggest challenges in parsing through attack surface data is its sheer volume and complexity. Attackers are constantly developing new techniques and tools to exploit vulnerabilities, and organizations need to be able to keep up. 
This means that security teams need to be able to quickly and accurately identify and prioritize vulnerabilities, even if they are buried in a sea of data.

Join the Mandiant team for a live discussion on outcome-based asset discovery, an easy-to-use method of understanding attack surface exposures. The team will discuss and demo:
- How to define the outcomes or success criteria of asset discovery 
- The various use cases external attack surface management can solve for
- The different ways to operationalize attack surface findings across the organization

Attack Surface Discovery at Scale

The manufacturing industry is a prime target for cyber attackers, who are increasingly using multi-faceted extortion and espionage tactics to gain access to sensitive data and disrupt operations. This webinar will provide an overview of cyber threats targeting the manufacturing industry, including:

1) Trends and data observed with multi-faceted extortion attacks
2) Cyber espionage campaigns targeting the sector
3) How the sector might be used as a jump point via supply chain attacks to other sectors

The webinar will feature cyber security intelligence and advisory experts in the manufacturing industry who will discuss the following topics:

1) How to use cyber threat intelligence to ensure better outcomes
2) Why context is vital when prioritizing alerts and threats

This webinar is essential for anyone who is responsible for cyber security at a manufacturing company. You will learn about the latest threats facing your industry and how to protect your organization from these attacks.

The Cyber Security Threat Landscape Targeting the Manufacturing Industry

In this session, explore how you can modernise Security Operations with Google Cloud's cloud-native Security Operations platform. Learn how you can deliver modern threat detection, investigation, and hunting at unprecedented speed and scale along with ushering in a new era of productivity for security teams with AI. 

We will show you  how you can elevate your team’s talent and productivity with generative AI and fill in skill gaps with expert help when you need it - before, during, and after an incident.

Modernising SecOps

Disinformation campaigns are unfortunately both incredibly pervasive and surprisingly common. Whether it is spreading propaganda or discrediting political opponents, they can have a dramatic impact on nations when left unchecked. Come join Mandiant as we dive into several pro People’s Republic of China (PRC) disinformation campaigns, including DRAGONBRIDGE and HAIENERGY. 

We will examine how they work, how widespread they can be, what they are trying to achieve, and how patiently tracking them can help us understand the actors behind them.

WHO DIS? Analysing Pro-PRC Propaganda Campaigns

The best method for breach preparation is ASSUMED as opposed to the initial IF which then moved onto WHEN. Security teams should approach validation using a trusted actor methodology by simulating breaches as authorized users. 

This will identity business risks generated from security weaknesses, vulnerabilities and mis-configurations. The ultimate target is having the ability to assess the impact on organization's critical data and assets.

Join this session to learn more about how to be best prepared for a breach, by managing your initial assumptions.

Don’t let assumptions be your achilles heel. 

25.8% of initial access comes from exploitation of public facing applications while 17% comes from supply chain compromise.  

It’s important for the organisation to understand;
What do we have? 
What are we running? 
And what are the risks? 

By understanding how the attacker sees you, you are able to prioritize and reduce your attack surface. Attend this session to learn how to to build your cyber backbone, and minimise your achilles heel.

Have a backbone. Not an achilles heel.

To proactively mitigate risks from cyber exposures, you need to know who's targeting you and what you need to protect. Yet, many don’t know where to start.

Join David Sutton and Megan DeBlois for a live discussion on Mandiant’s approach to scoping the cyber threat landscape and how it can help you make more intelligence-led decisions. David and Megan will cover:

 - The types of intelligence sources needed 
 - How to successfully operationalize intelligence across the security stack
 - The positive impacts of making intelligence-led decisions

Threats! Exposures! Oh, my!

Detect Risks & Validate Security Controls - Webinar Series Part 3

Over the last few years, Mandiant has observed a rise of cyber attacks from ransomware attacks to more sophisticated and persistent cyber threats known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). These can dramatically impact people, organizations, and governments; as well as the society if critical infrastructures are targeted.

The implementation of a robust cybersecurity program (human, technical, and strategic) enables organizations and governments to prepare their environment to detect malicious activities, identify, and respond to them to limit the impact (e.g., reputational, business continuity, financial, legal, etc.).

This presentation provides an explanation on how organizations can use threat intelligence to proactively identify threats targeting them, as well as to drive incident response process to effectively determine the scope of the cyber attack to remediate it. Moreover, the incident response process will be discussed to demonstrate how to investigate and respond to a large-scale cyber incidents while limiting the impact.

The presentation will conclude on how the traditional digital forensics science could support and improve the incident response process.

Take Control of Your Cyber Defense with The Defender’s Advantage Series, Part 1

The Defender’s Advantage is the concept that organizations are defending against attacks in their own environment. This provides a fundamental advantage arising from the fact that they have control over the landscape where they will meet their adversaries. Organizations struggle to capitalize on this advantage. 

In the Defender’s Advantage, Mandiant delivers comprehensive, step by step advice on how to advance an organization’s security capabilities to build a robust, comprehensive security program, enabling them to take command of their own environment and turn the tide on their attackers.

Attend This Webinar to Discover that when fully optimized and activated, Cyber Defense enables organizations to answer questions such as: 
• Who is targeting us and what are they after? 
• Have we been compromised? 
• Would we know if we were compromised? 
• Are we prepared to respond to a breach? 
• Are our security investments effective?
