eSummit 3 Cyber-Forensics - an Overview of Intrusion Investigations

DNS is the last critical service on the Internet and in your organization that runs unencrypted or 'in the clear'. Competing consortiums of standards bodies, IT security associations and internet behemoths are trying to close the DNS encryption gap with varied approaches. Some advocate browser-based extensions, others opt for infrastructure and OS upgrades and others propose measures to block encrypted DNS traffic.

Even if a web session is encrypted, unencrypted DNS provides important behavioral metadata that can be used to track network activity. Used properly, encrypted DNS can close privacy and security gaps that leaves DNS queries open to surveillance data miners like Internet behemoths, law enforcement, ISPs, business competitors and advertisers. However, with zero sophistication, any user in your organization can use encrypted DNS, which is now embedded in the world’s most popular web browsers, to completely bypass IT security policies, steal data and run unauthorized applications – all undetectable by most security tools. In many ways, encrypted DNS poses the same risks to information security as the TOR network. However, in areas where accessing the wrong web content can lead to severe consequences, encrypted DNS can literally save lives. Join Infoblox and (ISC)2 on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 1:00PM GMT for a discussion examining the rationale and tech behind encrypted DNS, the risks and benefits and it can bring, and strategies information security teams can use to approach this rapidly emerging technology.

The security industry is constantly changing and there’s always a new technology to learn how to defend or a new threat to fight against. However, with a rapid and constantly changing landscape of technologies, threats, frameworks, techniques and legislations - it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day of cyber security and neglect progression at a personal, team and organizational level. Working across the full spectrum of security teams, from newly formed to the well-established; both Splunk and (ISC)2 are constantly observing the patterns for success in cyber security at every level. Spoiler alert - those who get the promotions or pay rises don’t do so for successfully configuring a firewall or by being lucky enough that their company hasn’t been breached (yet). Join us on March 17, 2020 at 1:00PM (GMT) for a discussion on what success looks like in security, how success is defined by an organization and its board, what personal and team success looks like for individual contributors and the top six observations of what makes a security professional stand out.

The MITRE ATT&CK Framework provides an excellent structure for security professionals to identify the strengths and gaps in their ability to detect attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) in the environment. The framework is applicable for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Join ExtraHop and (ISC)² on March 5, 2020 at 1:00PM Eastern for a discussion on the MITRE ATT&CK Framework as we look at:

• How to get the most value from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework in a hybrid environment

• How upcoming changes in MITRE ATT&CK may affect utilization of the framework by SecOps teams

• How MITRE ATT&CK fits into an overall framework-driven strategy for improving detection coverage and security maturity in hybrid enterprises of all sizes.

The year 2019 ushered in a host of new adversaries, new attack methods and new challenges for the cybersecurity industry. The CrowdStrike® Services team faced these trials head-on, across geographical regions and within public companies, private industries and governmental entities spanning a variety of digital mediums.

This webcast, drawn from real-life engagements and presented by the experts who investigated them, focuses on the themes and trends observed in the global incidents the Services team responded to and remediated throughout 2019 and what they mean for 2020.

Join this webcast to learn the following:
•How business disruption emerged as a main attack objective
•Why third-party compromises served as a force multiplier for attacks and attackers
•Why macOS machines are now clearly in the cross-hairs of adversaries
•Recommendations based on CrowdStrike Services investigations that can help you increase your organization’s cyber defences

There is much talk in the Industry with regards to Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) - but what does it involve and what does this mean for Network Visibility? In this Webinar we will explore the reason for ZTN, some of the current ideas surrounding the implementations of ZTN and where Network Visibility plays a key role in securing such environments. With one of the key concepts of ZTN being the encryption and authentication of data in motion, we will also discuss the need for Metadata and why this can be an advantage over traditional methods of monitoring.

Join us for this webinar to learn more about how you can:

- Understand the ZTN trust model at a high level

- See which components are important within ZTN and why

- Understand why the perimeter is changing and why the need for segmentation goes beyond physical devices

- How Metadata can play a key role in understanding the activity of applications on your network

2019 was a watershed year in cybersecurity, with unprecedented growth in headline-grabbing breaches and revenue-impacting fines. As organisations struggle to deal with the ever-growing cyber threat, the need for an objective, easy way to quantify both security performance and the risk posed by vendor relationships has become apparent. Security Rating Services provide exactly the kind of insight security and management teams need to make data-driven, risk-based decisions that can enable a secure digital business transformation and improve security performance.

However, plenty of misconceptions and misinformation still exists about what Security Ratings can do for an organisation.

Join BitSight’s Chris Poulin for a look at how Security Ratings can transform your organisation’s security and risk management program.

With more than three decades of use, MFA is a proven method to reduce the risk of breaches due to stolen or weak credentials. While nearly any MFA method is an improvement over username and password alone, creative and resourceful attackers continue to expose weaknesses in legacy solutions such as token-based or telephony-based authentication. When considering or reviewing your secure access options, there are valuable lessons that can be learned from some of these real-world examples.

Join Duo Security’s Josh Green on 11 February for a grounded discussion on how MFA methods have evolved, a dissection of several successful attacks, and how modern MFA solutions fare against the same threats.

In this webinar, you will also learn:

Why SIM-Swap attacks and insecure multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods can increase the risk of the credential theft
How attackers leveraged these security gaps in the real-world breach examples

Incorporate Pwned Passwords into Active Directory for free using the open source PwnedPasswordsDLL project
Build customised lists of additional bad passwords

Privileged access exists in many forms such as Local Administrative Accounts, Domain Administrative Accounts, Service Accounts, Application Credentials and SSH Keys. Privileged accounts, credentials and secrets are found in devices, applications and operating systems.

Experts agree it’s a best practice to ensure they are protected, managed and monitored. Whether your organisation choices an on premises of SaaS for Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, your program should start with steps that focus on rapid risk reduction for high value assets.

In this session, we’ll review what is considered to be table stakes Privileged Access Management hygiene, and we’ll focus on three key areas for a Privileged Access Management security program:

•Account Discovery and Credential Vaulting
•Session Management and Isolation

E-business relies on core network services to function. Name resolution through DNS and IP addresses handling (DHCP, IPAM), specifically.
