Protecting Your Business from the Ransomware Threat

Effective security operations are the first line of defence when it comes to preventing cyberattacks. In order to accomplish this, organisations need a mature security program that leverages people, process, and technology to enable rapid detection and response.

Yet some organisations struggle with the overall effectiveness of their security operations. They lack a model for maturing their capabilities. A mature security operation enables threats to be detected earlier in the cyberattack lifecycle which is critical.

Join this webinar to discover LogRhythm's Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM) which was developed to help organisations assess their level of maturity and plan for making improvements over time.

Organisations can use this model to evaluate their current security operations and develop a roadmap to achieve the level that is appropriate in the light of their resources, budget, and risk tolerance. You will also hear about the critical measures of security operations effectiveness.

Is your security team struggling with blind spots? Inundated with false negative alarms? You’re not alone. Legacy SIEMs hinder your ability to achieve your security objectives. Traditional solutions are limited and often lack the flexibility to scale and grow as your security needs increase. To combat today’s threats, you need a next-gen SIEM that leverages the architecture and security capabilities that are best suited to detect both known and unknown threats within your environment.

In this on-demand webcast, Christopher Crowley, senior instructor at SANS, and Barbara Filkins, senior analyst at SANS, join Sara Kingsley, senior product marketing manager at LogRhythm, to explain what comprises a modern SIEM solution and share tips for evaluating a next-gen SIEM platform.

In this webcast, you’ll learn:
- What makes a SIEM “next-generation”
- How to evaluate a next-generation SIEM
- The requirements that should guide your next-generation SIEM POC

Watch the webinar to discover the tools you need to evaluate and choose a next-gen SIEM that fits the requirements of your organisation.

In this real training for free session, we will discuss the minimum toolset and data requirements (and not necessarily volume) you need for successful threat hunting. We will take into account that while some of you can devote most of your time to threat hunting, most of us have limited time and resources for this activity. The good news is that threat hunting is flexible and anyone can do it, ranging from a few hours a week to full-time.

As an example, a great type of threat hunting is to look for unrecognised/suspicious executables running on your network. You can dip your toe in the water with this type of hunt with a small commitment of time and resources or you can dive in deep with a major data collection and analysis effort. Starting out simple means you just focus on EXE names; baseline the EXE names being executed on your network, and then perform a daily review of new EXE names showing up for the first time. You can get this information from event ID 4688 and the query capabilities are very light. But I think you’ll be surprised what you are able to learn and catch.

We will take the same approach with a total of 7 types of threat hunting:

Recognising suspicious software
Scripting abuse
AV follow-up
Lateral movement
Persistence
DNS abuse
Bait-the-bad-guy

Budget constraints is a common complaint from security professionals. However many of the tools that can solve problems in the enterprise are free. You don’t have to buy commercial products to secure your entire enterprise. Of course, there are some areas that do require a PO, however, there are also several areas of your security program that can be implemented using free and/or open source tools.

In this webinar we look at which aspects of your security program can benefit the most from these tools, and how to configure and use them.

Discover:
• Lightweight threat intelligence: pi-hole in the cloud (+TacyonNet)
• Vulnerability profiling: Integration with vFeed
• Patching your systems with Ansible
• Network monitoring with Bro
• High-performance firewalls with OpnSense
• The best free training resources

Steve Kaufman, Technical Product Manager from LogRhythm, will be joining the webinar to cover how security technology vendors are aligning with open source tools. He’ll explore how LogRhythm’s architecture, including elasticsearch, enables the product to integrate with open source tools.

In this webinar Randy Franklin Smith (UWS) and Greg Foss (LogRhythm) take a real-world example of a SIEM, in this case LogRhythm, and an IAM, Okta, and demonstrate how their integration matures an organisation’s security posture.

We’ll dive into how Security Analysts can make more informed decisions and perform better investigations when they have a full picture of IAM events spanning on-prem and cloud-based activity and how organisations can respond rapidly to security alarms with automatic protective measures.

In this webcast, discover how to:
• Visualise and analyse data from Okta in your SIEM
• Identify accounts that have compromised credentials by monitoring for successful authentications paired with failed multifactor logins
• Utilise the Okta API to automate security tasks
• Build upon identity monitoring to work towards a “Zero Trust” architecture

The Internet of Things (IoT) will generate, process and share more data than ever before. Data that needs to be secured.

The data generated by non-traditional sensors and systems can help detect anomalous behaviour and maintain the uptime we expect from the new wave of connected devices.

In this webinar, LogRhythm’s security experts will explain how this data can be used, with examples from a range of industries – from jet turbine manufacturers to in-home automation providers.

Join the webinar to discover:
1. How IoT devices blur the boundaries between IT security, operational technology and security in the physical world
2. How to gain visibility into the data generated by these devices – and what it really means
3. What customers have experienced through real-life use cases

User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and security information and event management (SIEM) are separate security solutions that can work together to detect shifts in behavior that indicate a compromise is occurring. UEBA is enhanced by leveraging the data collected and enriched by a SIEM, and SIEM capabilities are expanded by ingesting UEBA events for further correlation.

One of the best ways to understand this symbiotic relationship is to take an actual source of security events and apply UEBA to it. In this on-demand webcast, Matt Willems, LogRhythm’s technical product manager, joins Ultimate Window Security’s Randy Franklin Smith to uncover the relationship between UEBA and SIEM — giving you an inside view of user behavior analysis in action.

In this webcast, you’ll learn how to apply UEBA and SIEM using data from the Windows Security Log to track:

- When a user normally logs on
- The computer from which the user authenticates
- Additional computers the user accesses

The webcast identifies the most important events from the Windows Security Log for UEBA and the roles that generate them, as well as challenges in correlation. In addition, you’ll learn about alternative logs that augment user behavior analysis.

Presenters will also cover:

-Examples of identity construction from user identifiers such as Active Directory credentials and email addresses (both corporate and personal)
-Dynamic baselining (i.e., what is normal in your environment vs. a threshold/whitelist/blacklist)
-Two UEBA use cases: one that focuses on authentication from an abnormal location and another that highlights an unusual time/blacklisted location

Watch the webcast to learn how to successfully apply UEBA to security events.

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.

Hackers have determined a number of ways to harvest privileged account credentials and use them to infiltrate networks. This makes monitoring privileged account usage critical to reducing your organisation’s cyber risk.

The good news is that Windows provides event ID 4672, which is logged whenever an account signs in with admin user rights.

Event ID 4672 contains valuable information, such as user name, computer name and privileges, and logon session ID. Administrative users will always have one or more of the rights that trigger event 4672.

In this webinar, Windows Security Expert, Randy Franklin Smith, provides free technical training on detecting compromised accounts and demonstrates how to sift through event 4672 details.

Register now to learn how to use Windows Security Log to monitor privileged access and threat hunt for suspicious logon sessions.
