Activated Charcoal: Making sense of endpoint data

Building fortresses has long ceased to be an option. Rather, the IT security focus has moved to dealing with the inevitable breaches as quickly, thoroughly and efficiently as possible – disarming threats before any real damage can be done. This means reducing risk to the business by cutting the mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).

During this video we’ll be looking at how businesses can better protect themselves by adopting an end-to-end process known as threat lifecycle management (TLM), with a focus on improving the effectiveness of both detection and response.

Key topics up for discussion:

· Speeding up detection and mitigation with machine learning

· Reducing mean time to respond (MTTR)

· The problem of 'alert fatigue’

· Automating recovery

· Next generation security information and event management (SIEM)

SANS' 2016 survey of incident response (IR) capabilities indicated that the IR landscape was ever changing. Advanced industries were able to maintain effective IR teams, but it identified hurdles responders face to increase the efficiency of their IR teams.

In this SANS Incident Response Survey webcast, James Carder, LogRhythm CISO & VP of LogRhythm Labs, joins industry experts to explore the results of the fourth annual SANS survey on incident response. Together they'll provide insight into the maturity of IR processes and functions spanning a variety of environments.

You'll learn:

• Types of attacks experienced and nature of the breaches
• Time needed to detect, contain, and remediate breaches
• Maturity of network visibility infrastructures and security operations centers' response capabilities

Watch now to learn more about the incident response capabilities of your peers and how IR can help you protect your network.

This webinar will focus on the cultural shift from tightly controlled business networks of yesterday to the converged fabric adopted by businesses today. BYOD is becoming a normality for most organisations and it doesn't have to be a heavy burden for security teams with the right policies, people and technology in place. We'll dive into some of the options available for these challenges in this webinar and how having the right BYOD strategy can play an integral role in an organisation's preparation for EU GDPR compliance.

We’ll address:
- The security options available today to enable an efficient and safe BYOD strategy
- How implementing a strong BYOD strategy can help compliance
- How you can reduce the risk of suffering a damaging cyber-breach

Globally, sophisticated cyber-attacks are compromising organisations at an unprecedented rate and with devastating consequences. Today’s hackers are motivated by a wide range of objectives that include financial gain, industrial espionage, cyber-warfare, and terrorism. The odds that your organisation will be compromised are high with a recent report indicating that 76 percent of surveyed organisations suffered a data breach in 2016. Organisations increasingly expect that it’s not if they will be compromised, but rather when will they be compromised.

Preventing attackers from gaining control of network endpoints is difficult. Your preventative controls might stop such an event, but defence-in-depth best practices recommend a multi-layered security approach to protect your organisation.

In this webcast, Seth Goldhammer, Director of Product Management at LogRhythm, joins Randy Franklin Smith, Windows Security subject matter expert, to discuss how to detect attackers in various stages of the Cyber Attack Lifecycle. The duo examines Windows and Windows Firewall events including:

* 4798—A user's local group membership was enumerated
* 4799—A security-enabled local group membership was enumerated
* 4627—Group membership information
* 6416—A new external device was recognised by the system

They also show how LogRhythm’s analytics can recognise progression along the Cyber Attack Lifecycle, while increasing risk scoring with each progression, and how LogRhythm can infer additional context about a user during analysis.

As technology advances, so does the threat landscape, with cyber criminals effectively exploiting weak points on an almost daily basis. When malware infiltrates an organisation’s first layer of defence, it can spread quickly throughout the network, exposing data and weakening security - and in most cases this happens faster than analysts or administrators have time to react to. Indeed, with reams of data being generated and transferred over networks, organisations are having a hard time monitoring everything, which means potential threats can easily go unnoticed.

Organisations need to rely on machines to detect and respond to threats more quickly and efficiently. Even enterprises with a dedicated security team that monitors the latest security threat trends and understands the blueprint of evolving attack vectors still need to continuously monitor all network activity. The sheer volume of processes, services and applications running on a corporate network is just too much for human beings to monitor alone. However, this doesn’t mean that human analysis is not important.

User and entity behavioural analytics (UEBA) is essential in keeping up with continuously evolving threats and making sense of anomalous network behaviour. Security approaches that utilise both machine learning and human analysis enable all threats to be analysed for effective detection and response, ensuring all data is accounted for and including the human element to help reduce the opportunities for false positives. To keep up with the ever-changing security landscape, companies need to integrate internal and external threat context in their environment by updating processing rules for operating systems, applications, and network devices in order to strengthen the accuracy of real-time machine analytics.

Today’s reality is that organisations will continue to be confronted by increasingly frequent and complex cyber threats. It’s not a matter of if your organisation will be compromised, but when.

The Threat Lifecycle Management Framework (TLM) is a series of aligned security operations capabilities. It begins with the ability to see broadly and deeply across your IT environment and ends with the ability to quickly mitigate and recover from security incidents. The result? A reduction in your mean time to detect and mean time to respond without adding staff to accomplish the job.

In this webcast, Chris Martin, LogRhythm security expert, will explain what TLM is and demonstrate how the end-to-end security workflow helps reduce your mean time to detect and respond to cyber threats.

You’ll learn:

• The definition and details of the TLM framework
• How TLM enables you to sort through the noise to highlight and investigate concerning incidents
• How TLM works to streamline processes through automated workflow
• Specific use cases TLM can address to prevent major data breaches

Register now to learn how to enhance your threat detection and response capabilities with LogRhythm and Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM).

Throughout 2017 organisations will continue to be confronted by increasingly frequent and complex cyber threats. It’s not a matter of if your organisation will be compromised, but when.

A traditional prevention-centric strategy naively assumes all threats can be blocked at the perimeter, which leaves you blind to the threats that do get in. Many organisations are shifting to a more balanced strategy including detection and response. Enter Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM) - your playbook for rapidly detecting and responding to cyber-attacks.

In this webcast, Seth Goldhammer, senior director of product management at LogRhythm, explains what TLM is, and demonstrates how the end-to-end security workflow helps reduce your mean time to detect and respond to cyber threats.

Data-driven security is the future, but alarm fatigue and data overload continue to hold Security Operations teams back. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to organise and correlate data so you can simplify the threat hunting process and free up your resources to better detect, respond and neutralise advanced threats.

In this webcast, Greg Foss, Security Architect at LogRhythm, and Chris Berninger, Senior Systems Engineer at Carbon Black, discuss how to proactively search for and detect threats in your network.

You’ll learn:

• To use endpoint data to gain visibility into your network and understand what’s really going on in your network

Register now to discover how to use insights from endpoint data to best protect your organisation from advanced attacks.

“By 2020, 60% of enterprise information security budgets will be allocated for rapid detection and response approaches” according to Gartner Research.

Many organisations are shifting to a more balanced strategy to improve detection and response capabilities. The earlier you detect and mitigate a threat, the less the ultimate cost to your business. By implementing an effective end-to-end threat management process, you can achieve faster detection and response in order to prevent high-impact security incidents, such as major data breaches.

In this webinar, presenters from LogRhythm and Fujitsu will explore how you can implement an effective Threat Lifecycle Management process at a scale appropriate to your business through innovative technology such as:

• Advanced machine analytics, which are key to discovering potential threats quickly.

• Security automation and orchestration capabilities, which increase analyst efficiency to support the entire threat investigation, through to full remediation and recovery.

Understand the process, Threat Lifecycle Management (TLM), which begins with the ability to see broadly and deeply across your IT environment and ends with the ability to quickly mitigate and recover from a security incident. Join this webinar to:

• Determine if your spending is focused on the right areas

• Understand five obstacles you can overcome to help prevent high-impact cyber incidents

• Discover how can you lower your TCO and maximise the ROI of your security technology

Research shows that 76% of companies suffered a data breach in 2016, so it’s now almost inevitable that hackers will gain access to your company and your sensitive data.

Security professionals are now looking to deal with breaches faster, to keep their company off the front page and with heavy GDPR fines on the horizon, they’re wise to do so.

Organisations are fearful of damaging data breaches but unsure of the best course of action to protect themselves from major cyber incidents. Whilst a large per cent of businesses focus on building up perimeter defences, not enough are concentrating on monitoring their own network to detect threats and mitigate them before significant damage is done.

Tune into this in-depth one-on-one interview to discover:

•More about the current threat landscape and the dangers to your organisation.

•How you can reduce the time to detect and respond to threats without adding staff to accomplish the job.

•More about how cutting edge technology can be used such as:
oAdvanced machine analytics, which are key to discovering potential threats quickly.
oSecurity automation and orchestration capabilities, which increase the efficiency of the threat lifecycle management process.

•The influence that GDPR will have and steps you need to take.

When it comes to detection and response, you need full visibility into what’s traversing your network.

In this webcast, Dave Shackleford, senior SANS analyst, provides a functional review of LogRhythm’s NetMon Freemium.
