The Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on the Evolution of Cybercrime

New Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule requirements come into effect in June 2023. Under the new regulations, automotive dealerships are considered non-banking financial institutions and must comply with the updated requirements.

Given that dealerships are considered the retail operational fronts for the automotive industry, they are highly susceptible to cyberattacks that impact the financial, retail, and manufacturing industries.

Watch this webinar with Greg Crowley, CISO at eSentire to learn more about:
- How to achieve compliance with the FTC Safeguards Rule to protect customer information, including the 9 elements that auto dealerships must have in place as part of their information security program
- The two primary reasons that auto dealers are attractive targets for cyberattacks

With Microsoft offering a cost-effective and highly integrated security stack that covers endpoint, email, cloud, identity and more, many organizations are replacing their legacy tools with Microsoft’s advanced security stack and getting the most out of their Office 365 investment.
To fully unlock the power of E5, cybersecurity leaders need to take advantage of the threat detection and investigation capabilities 365 Defender and Sentinel offer. Unfortunately, most organizations struggle with the in-house expertise and resources needed to operationalize and manage these tools. That’s where the role of an MDR provider becomes indispensable.

Watch this webiar to learn more about:

In May 2022, Conti leaders shut down operations as a formal entity. Yet affiliate groups, Black Basta and BlackByte, have followed in Conti’s footsteps, carrying out destructive and damaging ransomware attacks against organisations globally.

41% of these victim organisations tracked on Black Basta and BlackByte leak sites are based in Europe, and the other 59% are primarily U.S.-based. Moreover, many of the Europe-based organisations targeted by Black Basta and BlackByte are part of critical infrastructure sectors including energy, transportation, pharmaceuticals, education, government, facilities, and food.

Join this webinar with Keegan Keplinger, Research and Reporting Lead at eSentire, as he walks through: 
- The background and history of the Conti ransomware group, how they have evolved, and the current state of their operations

Keeping Up With Conti

At most private equity firms, CIOs lack visibility into the security operations across all their portfolio companies. The fact is that portfolio companies have limited knowledge of their cyber risks and an equally limited cybersecurity budget.  

Unfortunately, cybercriminals understand this Private Equity/Portfolio Company dynamic well and many take advantage of limited visibility and budgets to execute targeted ransomware attacks that can disrupt business operations and damage brand reputation. 

Unless you’re prepared to defend against modern ransomware threats, your portfolio companies could be locked out of critical systems and applications for days. The resulting downtime can cost your firm $225K per day in downtime costs alone 

Join this exclusive Private Equity Threat Summit, to listen to: 

- Private Equity Threat Briefing

Securing Your Portfolio Investments from the Risk of Costly Downtime

Ransomware has become a topic of discussion globally as cybersecurity leaders grapple with the magnitude and impact of cyber risk and the threat of downtime revenue disruption to their business. 

Unless you’re prepared to defend against ransomware, these attacks result in your firm being locked out of critical systems and applications for days and even weeks. In many cases, the resulting downtime can cost upwards of $225K per day in revenue disruption.

In this masterclass, eSentire’s Field CTO & Chief Cyber Risk Strategist, Tia Hopkins shares her insights and recommendations on how you can prevent downtime based on your specific industry threats. We also compare the cost of downtime revenue disruption vs the cost of a 24/7 in house SOC vs the value of investing in 24/7 MDR. 

You’ll learn more about: 
- The top malware threats observed in the legal industry that lead to ransomware
