Cyber CSI: Forensically Examine Phishing Emails to Protect Your Organization

What really makes a “strong” password? And why are your end-users tortured with them in the first place? How do hackers crack your passwords with ease? And what can/should you do about your authentication methods?

For decades, end-users have borne the brunt of the password tyranny, a result of the IT industries’ inability to engineer secure systems.

- How to craft a secure, risk-focused password security policy
- The truth about password managers and multi-factor authentication and how they impact your risk
- How to empower your end users to become your best last line of defense

The Pesky Password Problem: Policies That Help You Gain the Upper Hand

Phishing is the number one way that the bad guys infect computers with malware like ransomware. With the world at a practical standstill and in utter chaos, one thing that has not slowed down is the amount of phishing attacks, and thus the number of ransomware attacks. In fact, attempts by cybercriminals to infiltrate networks has increased during these uncertain times. It's estimated that Google has blocked nearly 18 million COVID-19 related phishing attacks. People are less secure now, and the bad guys know it.

Join Erich Kron, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, and Bruce Sussman of SecureWorld as they discuss the latest advances in ransomware, phishing trends, and why it's more important than ever to have a strong security culture within your organization.
