Attacks on operational technology (OT) have been on the rise for decades. Most recently, attackers have wreaked havoc on healthcare systems and medical devices, SCADA, IoT devices, industrial control systems, with exploits such as EternalBlue, SweynTooth, or ransomware variants.
These attacks threaten national interests, and as OT continues to be vital in day to day operations, overall business continuity is also endangered. Governments and organizations worldwide have begun implementing programs and delivering mandates to protect critical infrastructure and business operations.

James Carder, CSO & VP, LogRhythm Labs, discusses ways to evaluate risk, and tips to protect OT.
He’ll discuss:
- Key operational risks tied to various critical industries, and where OT threat landscape is headed
- 3 practical steps to improve your OT cybersecurity strategy
- 6 example cybersecurity OT use cases (e.g. real-time monitoring of SCADA, water systems, telehealth, OT/IT convergence)

Today, ransomware attackers won’t simply back down if an organization refuses to pay the demanded sum in order to get their files back. Even companies who have great backups and a fast recovery process are vulnerable to an emerging strategy: exfiltrating the victim’s most private data before demanding ransom. If the victim refuses payment and initiates restoring their systems, the attacker reveals what information they have exfiltrated and threatens to post it online if the ransom goes unpaid.

That threat is a completely different from the standard ransomware threat. This is because we’ve now shifted from an Integrity and Availability threat to a Confidentiality threat. And of course there is the possible nightmare of privacy and other compliance regulations depending on the nature of the data that’s been exfiltrated.

During this webcast, Randy Franklin Smith from Ultimate Windows Security provides an overview of some recent high-profile attacks that have employed this strategy, including those against Honda, Xerox and Garmin. He also discusses detection methods and MITRE ATT&CK® techniques commonly used in ransomware attacks, such as:

- Phishing (T1566)
- System Services (T1569)
- Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059)

Then, Brian Coulson from LogRhythm’s Threat Research team demonstrates how to detect and respond to these types of threats using MITRE ATT&CK, UEBA capabilities, and more.

MITRE isn’t resting on their laurels with ATT&CK; they keep making it better. ATT&CK now includes cloud-specific content, and I don’t mean just generalized cloud guidance. Just like how ATT&CK has specific Techniques for Windows and Linux, ATT&CK’s cloud matrix defines Techniques specific to Office 365, Azure, AWS, Google, and others. It also covers most of the same Tactics found in the original ATT&CK matrix, including:

- Initial Access: Get into your network
- Persistence: Maintain their foothold
- Privilege Escalation: Gain higher-level permissions
- Defense Evasion: Avoid being detected
- Credential Access: Steal account names and passwords
- Discovery: Figure out your environment
- Lateral Movement: Move through your environment
- Collection: Gather data of interest to their goal
- Exfiltration: Steal data

The only ones missing at this time are:

- Execution: Run malicious code
- Command and Control: Communicate with compromised systems to control them
- Impact: Where the adversary tries to manipulate, interrupt, or destroy your systems and data.

In addition, MITRE’s cloud matrix already has over 40 different documented Techniques, and in this real training for free ™ event, Randy Franklin Smith of Ultimate Windows Security will provide an overview of the matrix and show you how it fits into the overall ATT&CK framework.

Then, members of LogRhythm’s Threat Research team — Brian Coulson, Dan Kaiser, and Sally Vincent — demonstrate how you can use the following 5 cloud Techniques to identify anomalies in an Office 365 environment:

- T1114: Email Collection
- T1534: Internal Spearphishing
- T1098: Account Manipulation
- T1136: Create Account
- T1192: Spearphishing Link

Watch this on-demand technical session for the latest ways to protect your cloud resources with MITRE ATT&CK.

As cyberattacks continue to make headlines worldwide, organisations that neglect the importance of fusing a pervasive security culture containing effective SecOps processes with skilled team players committed to do their very best are making a catastrophic error in judgement.

A proliferation of security technologies alone – even if they are correctly configured – will never stop cyberattacks or protect an organisation from a possible data breach, unless the correct playbooks are implemented and consistently operated by a skilled, motivated team with full backing of the board of directors.

Leading a cybersecurity team requires recruiting and retaining talent, developing the right strategy and fostering a culture of success. All while managing critical relationships with the board and other fickle stakeholders.

In this webinar, Dan Crossley and Kevin Eley are joined by guest industry speakers Michael Brown and Andy Johnson as they discuss the key attributes of a successful cybersecurity leader. The discussion will include:

•The importance of managing expectations with the board and implementing a robust infosec management system that must be measured
•Whether a security operations maturity model can assist an organisation on their journey to building a culture of security that reduces risk
•What – if any – lessons can the CISO learn from other walks of life

In light of COVID-19, we’re seeing businesses across industries implement remote work policies. This brings about new security concerns, many of which either weren’t considered or prioritized beforehand.

During this webinar LogRhythm experts including James Carder, CSO and VP of LogRhythm Labs, will review best practices for securing a remote workforce and what to expect when your employees make this kind of shift, whether it needs to happen now or in the future. Specific topics will include:

- Getting started with log collection for remote systems
- Priority use cases you should employ, such as monitoring VPN access and collaboration security
- The types and levels of activity you should expect to see on your network, depending on your industry
- The security awareness topics you should educate your employees on

We’ll also discuss the impacts we’re seeing from the rush to support remote work due to COVID-19. These reveal lessons that others can implement now or work into a future plan to support a rise in remote workers.

As a result of recent events and the COVID-19 pandemic, most organizations are implementing work-at-home policies. Yet company-wide remote environments present unique challenges for IT and cybersecurity professionals.

In this webinar, Rex Young, chief information officer, and Zack Rowland, strategic integrations engineer, reveal how LogRhythm rapidly migrated employees from in-office to remote work.

The two discuss the steps LogRhythm took to prepare for such an event and how they put that plan in action as remote work became necessary. Rex and Zack also answer questions posed to them to help others implement the same work-from-home environment while keeping IT and security best practices top of mind.

Topics covered during this webinar include:
• How LogRhythm prepared its IT and security operations to accommodate a global work-from-home event
• Q&A session to help IT and security teams accommodate a remote team
• How to balance business continuity with security measures
• IT and security implications to consider when implementing a work-at-home set-up
