Protecting Your Business from the Ransomware Threat

Last year, 69 percent of surveyed organizations reported incidents that resulted in data theft — but not from external attacks. These threats came from inside the organization. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) plays a crucial role in detecting the user behavior that can put your company at risk

LogRhythm UEBA solutions uncover user-based threats with diverse analytical methods, including scenario- and behavior-based techniques, which deliver comprehensive visibility across the full spectrum of attacks.

LogRhythm can help maximize efficiency and minimize risk, to help you solve security use cases such as insider threats, account compromise, privileged account abuse, and more.

Watch our on-demand technical demo highlighting the power of our UEBA solutions.

When threats occur, understaffed security operations centers (SOCs) lack sufficient access to contextual information. This lack of visibility is a key problem that LogRhythm CloudAI for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) are designed to solve.

In this webcast, Dave Shackleford, senior SANS instructor, and analyst, joins Seth Goldhammer, LogRhythm senior director of product management, to explore how CloudAI uses supervised and unsupervised learning to establish baselines and monitor user behavior.

Today’s hackers often favor the phishing email as their weapon of choice. Phishing attacks are not only common, but are also very difficult to defend against. What if you could detect and mitigate a phishing attack before its intended target clicks on that fatal link or opens that malicious attachment?

When your Exchange server is in the Office 365 cloud, solutions such as constant inbox scanning or relying on synchronous mail flow aren’t viable options. Instead, you can find a strong defense against phishing emails in the Message Tracking log in Exchange.

The Message Tracking log is available in both on-prem Exchange and Office 365 Cloud’s Exchange Online. Message Tracking logs include valuable information about the client, servers, sender, recipients, message subject, and more. If you can access this information and know how to mine it, you can detect likely phishing emails.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

- Recognize the format of message tracking logs
- Pull message tracking logs from Office 365 using PowerShell’s Get-MessageTrackingLog cmdlet
- Work through a list of checks to perform against message tracking events to detect phishing emails
- Move suspect emails to a sandbox where you can use analysis tools like PhishTank, ThreatGRID, or OpenDNS
- Remove copies of phishing emails from other recipients
- Automatically detect and respond to phishing attacks with no analyst intervention
- To optimize your phishing response efficiency, LogRhythm has introduced a new open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE). PIE is a PowerShell framework focused on phishing attack detection and response.

Register for the webinar now to learn how you can use LogRhythm’s PIE and Office 365 to better detect and respond to phishing attacks.

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.

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.

Phishing campaigns are among the most common and damaging cyberattacks. Despite how common and successful phishing attacks are, often times organizations and their employees are ill-prepared to handle these threats.

In this webinar, Greg Foss, LogRhythm Manager of Global Security Operations, Paul Asadoorian, Security Weekly CEO and Founder, and John Strand, Black Hills Information Security Owner and Security Analyst, discuss phishing attacks and how you can protect yourself from them. Additionally, the three go on to discuss how LogRhythm’s open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE), can help streamline and automate the entire process of tracking, analyzing, and responding to phishing emails.
