What You Need to Know about Ransomware and HIPAA Compliance

Cloud solutions such as Microsoft Office 365 have simplified IT operations for thousands of companies. But trusting your business to off-site servers can present unique challenges as well.

If your servers are hosted in the cloud, you can save money on your network's operational costs. However, you may be giving up control of your own security. How can you position yourself to proactively detect and prevent security incidents before they occur?

In this presentation, Delta Risk experts will share their experience gained through securing thousands of Office 365 environments. They will discuss the technical, business, and strategic aspects of securing this cloud environment, including:

- The relationship between Microsoft and your business under the Office 365 Shared Responsibility Model (hint: in many ways, you're on your own!)
- Top Office 365 security risks, and how to combat them
- How to maximize Office 365's native security functions, and where third-party solutions can help fill the gaps

If you’re curious about the answers to these questions, we invite you to join us!

Despite the cost and complexity of implementation, many organizations rely on security information and event management (SIEM) for network detection and response for on-premises applications. With the move to the cloud, however, traditional SIEM approaches won’t work.
Nearly all organizations (90 percent) have at least one application in the cloud currently, or plan to in the next 12 months, according to IDG’s 2018 Cloud Computing study. Although cloud providers include security measures, IT professionals still face a variety of security challenges with software-as-a-service (SaaS), including lack of visibility into who is accessing applications and insufficient access controls.
Join our experts for a live webinar with a Q&A for more insights on the cloud security landscape and why you should consider a cloud security solution in today’s hybrid IT environment.
We’ll discuss:
•Current cloud security landscape
•Pros and cons of SIEM versus cloud-specific solutions
•Steps to implement a cloud security solution
•How Delta Risk’s cloud security solutions can help

In this webinar, we'll take a look at 2017 cloud data breaches: what went wrong and how to avoid the same fate.

Is your organization using SaaS apps like Office 365 or G Suite? How about cloud infrastructure like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure? The pace of business demands a cloud-first approach to move fast. The use of these services might not be new, but the accelerated rate of breaches on these services is alarming. The services themselves are secure but the task of configuring and using them securely is often left to your IT leaders, development teams, or even line of business managers. Cloud services introduce a new management plane, unfamiliar to every organization. The lack of visibility and control around these services is resulting in some of the most significant data breach incidents of 2017.

What are some of the telltale signs a misconfiguration is going to put your critical assets at risk? How can you avoid a misconfiguration in the future? Join our team of cloud security experts for a 45-minute webinar to learn more about the steps you can take to improve your cloud security posture and keep your critical information protected.

What you’ll learn about:

• New risks related to the use of cloud services
• What went wrong with cloud breaches you’ve seen in the news
• Common factors between these incidents
• Methods and technology to prevent a misconfiguration

In today’s digital world, insider threats are more prevalent than ever, but not any less difficult to detect and deter. Whether they’re malicious or unintentional, they must be guarded against equally. While you can’t directly control human behavior, you can implement safeguards to protect, detect, and respond to insider threats.

One of the best ways to address insider threats is to implement a formal insider threat program in your organization. But what does an effective program look like, and who should be involved in developing it?

If you’d like to learn more about preventing and detecting insider threats, join Delta Risk for this live 45-minute webinar. Our experts will discuss essential elements of an insider threat program, and why you need one now more than ever.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
•Differences between malicious and unintentional insider threats
•Understanding the motivations of internal and external threat actors

With resources shrinking and data centers aging, many organizations are moving at least some of their physical IT infrastructure to the cloud. Since cloud providers have already invested in massive infrastructure to support high-availability performance needs, organizations are often hard-pressed to achieve the same goals within their own budget. To put it more simply, cloud outsourcing just makes good business sense for most organizations.

From a security perspective, however, managing a cloud environment can be complex. Do you know who’s connecting to your cloud services? Do you know what they’re doing? Since cloud services are accessible from anywhere, at any time, anyone can potentially gain access to your systems and data. Therefore, getting visibility into your cloud activity is critical. Join us Thursday, May 11, at 1:00 ET as Delta Risk experts examine the increasing importance of cloud monitoring and how it can protect your organization.

In this 45-minute live webinar, you’ll learn:
•Why old business models are being forced to evolve
•Who could be trying to access your cloud environment
•What you can see with cloud monitoring that you might otherwise miss
•When to implement a cloud monitoring solution
•Cloud security recommendations from industry experts

What is it like to find out you’re on the trail of an advanced cyber criminal? What are the tools and skills you need to track them? What is the mindset you need to approach the hunt? And what indicators and intelligence can you use to see who the attacker is? In this webinar, our experts will discuss all of these questions and more, based on an actual case study.

When it comes to securing an organization’s network, most stakeholders understand that cyber security education and training are not a luxury – they're a necessity. In this webinar we will discuss how best to spend those precious training dollars to get a solid return on investment.

In a world where compromise is always a risk, one of the best ways to protect your organization is by ensuring that your response capabilities are effective, and one of the most valuable steps in strengthening a response capability is learning from others’ experiences. This webinar will discuss many issues that security professionals deal with when responding to incidents, and how they can address them.

The healthcare industry is one of the top targets for ransomware attacks, and the US Dept. of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has now stated that ransomware incidents should be treated the same way as other data breaches under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary.

In this webinar, we'll discuss:
-Why the OCR guidelines are important
-Why attackers are going after healthcare firms
-How to detect a ransomware attack
-Steps you can take to protect your organization

Are you confident attackers aren’t on your network right now? Preventing a determined attacker is nearly impossible. According to recent studies, the average attacker hides for an estimated 250 days before being discovered, often by a third party. In this webinar, Delta Risk experts will discuss how threat hunting enables you to find attackers your security team missed so you can stay in control and minimize damage. We’ll focus on the mindset, people, and capabilities you need to detect undiscovered attackers that could be costing you money and putting your business at risk. Don’t be caught off-guard – get out and hunt.

How prepared is your organization to react to and handle cyber incidents? Whether you’re developing your first cybersecurity exercise program or have a mature program in place, it’s important to know if your organization is evolving or just checking the box. In this webinar, we’ll discuss why cyber exercises give you the most realistic training and gap analysis to improve incident response results and your overall security program. We’ll also show how you to turn cyber exercises into a comprehensive, ongoing workforce development plan.
