Security for Enterprise AI

The security controls you choose for your organization need to both meet your unique requirements and keep up with both old and new threats. Threats are dynamic; attackers can pivot like a DJ that follows a bass drop with a waltz, and you need to be ready to adapt. In this webinar, we'll discuss what we've learned from our research about current (and recurring) threats, the wide variety of options for designing your secure access amidst these threats, and how to avoid stepping on the toes of users and IT admin as you tackle identity, the perimeter, and dynamic policies.
View on-demand anytime to learn more about:
• Threats, both new and the old, that just keep coming
• Strong, dynamic perimeter defenses
• Key identity and device insights
• Adaptive, in-session measures
• Dynamic policies to limit exposure without hampering productivity

Dancing with Threats: Staying Nimble with Secure Access

Organizations are reevaluating how they do remote access in today's hyper distributed environment. With users coming from a wider variety of locations and devices, and going to a larger set of destinations, major changes are needed. Traditional VPNs weren't built to handle this dynamic landscape. New standards and capabilities can enable faster and more secure connections. This includes a richer set of posture and contextual elements, modern, standards-based transport and proxy protocols, as well as seamless mobile support.

Cybersecurity in Education: Protecting Chromebooks from threats on the internet

Complicated. Challenging. Complex. Security leaders use these words to describe the current state of cybersecurity. The concept of security should be simple; protect users as they access applications and resources, stopping threats before they reach your users or network. But, creating cohesive, comprehensive security in a multicloud, hybrid work world poses challenges. 

Security leaders need a smarter way to manage access – from anything to anywhere – while protecting against savvy, sophisticated attackers. Security Service Edge (SSE), the security portion of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), is the architectural approach needed to lower risk in decentralized, hybrid work environments. It delivers secure access, comprehensive cloud-delivered security services, and centralized management for better protection against threats. Join us anytime to learn about SSE and the new Cisco Secure Access product.

Umbrella and Duo are Better Together!

The session is focused on the ways DNS can be used to improve protection against ransomware campaigns and speed up investigations of such incidents. We will cover fresh tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by ransomware actors which actively adopt advanced persistent threat (APT)-style tactics and evasion techniques. 

These actors’  goals have shifted from deploying ransomware on a few vulnerable machines to achieving persistence in the network and causing maximum damage to push victims into paying the ransom. 

We will share DNS-based classifiers developed by the Cisco Umbrella team and discuss our approach to building them based on changes in the threats landscape.
