CrowdStrike has redefined security with the world’s most advanced cloud-native platform for protecting critical areas of risk — endpoints and cloud workloads, identity, and data. The Falcon® platform harnesses real-time threat intelligence and enterprise telemetry to automate threat prevention, detection, remediation, hunting, and vulnerability observability through a single, intelligent, lightweight agent.

It’s no secret: your external attack surface is expanding. Digital transformation, remote work, cloud migration and increased reliance on third party vendors have drastically inflated your digital footprint – resulting in an explosion of unknown internet facing assets. Their risky exposure, if gone unchecked, can be a recipe for a damaging breach.

It is important to stay ahead of adversaries, and stop them from exploiting these assets. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) is a must-have tool in your arsenal to fight back, but in these tough economic times, many enterprises are looking to consolidate, do more with less, and are directing their security teams to prioritise and focus on what matters most. With this in mind, should you invest in a new EASM point product?

Join Tina Thorstenson, VP, Industry Business Unit & Executive Strategist and Kamil Imtiaz, Director, Product Marketing, IT SecOps as they help you to:

- Demystify EASM: What is it? Why is it important? And why now?
- Understand whether or not all EASM technologies are created equal and what 5 strategies will help you better evaluate the EASM capabilities
- Know how to leverage EASM capabilities and reduce exposure risk from the outside-in to the inside-out
- Learn about the newly launched CrowdStrike Falcon® Surface Technology, which extends the visibility and protection of the Falcon Platform with EASM capabilities to provide a complete picture of where exposures lie.

5 KEY CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INVESTING IN AN EXTERNAL ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT

Threat actors are getting bolder, stakes are higher, ransom costs and extortions are growing exponentially. These attacks can cause huge financial and reputation damage to organizations and affect their customers, or even worse, critical infrastructure or supply chains.

This webinar will be delivered by the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete team where they will execute a live Ransomware attack scenario. A public facing host that is unprotected by Falcon has become compromised. The intruder is leveraging it to laterally move across the environment via RDP in attempts to deploy ransomware.

Speakers:
Tom Brown (Falcon Complete, EMEA Lead),
Alex Sayavedra (Director, Falcon Complete),
Alice Allsop (Sr. Analyst, Falcon Complete),
Marc Paridimal (Sr. Analyst, Falcon Complete)

Ransomware Live Attack & Defend Demo

The adversary has evolved. 80% of modern attacks are identity-driven and Active Directory (AD) is often considered the weakest link in an organization's cyber defenses.

Unsurprisingly, over 50% of organizations experienced an AD attack in the last 2 years—and 40% of those attacks were successful. These breaches are incredibly hard to detect and adversaries can often lurk in your environment undetected for days, moving laterally across systems, escalating privileges in AD and eventually launching catastrophic attacks.

Join this webinar to:

• Learn about these modern attacks that target Active Directory and how Falcon Identity Protection can provide comprehensive, frictionless protection against Active Directory attacks in real-time
• Walk through a real attack scenario targeting Active Directory and see how Identity Protection can protect you against a modern Active Directory attack.

On this session, Jason Rivera, Director, Strategic Threat Advisory Group, at CrowdStrike will share his perspective on how to detect, react and remediate advanced cyber intrusions through achieving scalability, reducing cybersecurity complexity and increasing speed.

Cyber Security: One Problem, One Purpose, One Answer

Many organizations today use machine learning (ML) for malware classification and static file analysis. While this can be useful for detecting and responding to file-based threats pre-execution, adversaries continue to evolve their methods. Today’s attacks more often use malware-free or fileless attacks, which have rapidly grown to represent over 70% of all attacks*. 

Join CrowdStrike’s Joel Spurlock, Sr. Director, Malware Research and Joe Faulhaber, Principal Engineer for a webinar where you will: 

• Hear how behavioral ML and AI-powered indicators of attacks help cybersecurity teams stay ahead of today’s adversaries
• Discover how behavioral ML at runtime enables you to analyze adversary intent and movement, regardless of malware or tools used
• See a demo of CrowdStrike’s ML and AI-power detection and investigation processes

Leveraging the benefits of the cloud also comes with the requirement of managing an even larger attack surface. Adversaries are following data to the cloud and taking advantage of the complexity of the control plane to find and exploit security gaps.

CrowdStrike and Forrester have teamed up to address cloud security pain points with insights and best practices based on the latest trends. Tune in for important considerations to protect your data and applications in the cloud. You’ll learn how to:
• Select the right tooling
• Maintain compliance standards
• Reduce cost and duplication
• Bring together CWPP and CSPM
• Navigate the intersection between DevOps and DevSecOps
• Adversary activity, technical complexity, and the ephemeral nature of clouds make secure adoption an ongoing challenge.
