The Future of AI in cybersecurity: what to expect in 2024

In today's media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences. 

According to Kaspersky, nearly half of the organizations that faced data breach incidents in 2022 lacked contact person responsible for handling such incidents. About one-third either failed to react, denied the incident, or showed indifference to their data being traded on the dark web. Only a few were adequately prepared to respond. 

At our upcoming webinar, Anna Pavlovskaya, an expert at Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence, will present a comprehensive guide to setting up a system that monitors dark web threats and navigating the aftermath of an incident. You will gain insights into: 

- Structuring the incident response process, including the approach, necessary steps, and the specific roles assigned to the team members responsible for the process.

2024 Advanced persistent threat predictions

Modern cars employ a wide array of communication interfaces. Some, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, directly engage users, while others, such as RDS and GPS, provide user-facing services, and still others, like CAN and Ethernet buses, ensure the proper functioning of the car's internal systems. These interfaces contribute to the extensive flow of data within the car, forming its data flow graph. Within this graph, they serve as the "entry points" for malicious attackers seeking access to the vehicle. However, tampering with them does not necessarily lead to the loss of the car's security features.

In this webcast, cybersecurity experts, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko from Kaspersky's ICS CERT, will delve into the automotive security. Together, we will examine:

- We'll explore which interfaces attackers tend to favor when targeting cars and the reasons behind their choices.
- We'll focus on the techniques attackers employ when conducting attacks through specific interfaces, with an emphasis on classical techniques.
- We'll discuss how to defend against these threats and evaluate the feasibility of reducing associated risks.

Join us for this webinar, where we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to not only comprehend the ever-evolving landscape of automotive security but also to safeguard your modern vehicle effectively.

Overview of modern car compromise techniques and methods of protection

There is a common sense that companies need to develop and establish a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy to protect their own perimeter from attacks and also react fast and in the right way if they are under fire.
Despite the fact that still many enterprises don’t have a real strategy until they become a victim – which factors should you take into account when you decide to develop and implement a cybersecurity strategy to protect your company?
 
There is no silver bullet, no strategy you can just clone from another company. Different scales of businesses need to develop different strategies based on
- Budget
- Threat landscape
- Targets
- Type of data
- Business sector
 
In our session you will learn how you can develop a cybersecurity strategy that really that is tailored to really protect your business and helps to to react in the right way to mitigate caber attacks. And you will also learn how much budget you should really invest to be protected.

One fits all? No! All you need to develop the right cybersecurity strategy

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.
 
Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:
 
- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?

Unveiling the Darknet's Malware-as-a-Service model: How it works?

Cybercriminals tend to be secretive and act without disclosing their identity. However, when it comes to ransomware negotiations, the victim and the attacker have to “meet” face-to-face. Moreover, by the time the two sides meet to discuss the price, the attackers have already gained control of a company’s data or network – that puts the victim in a weak position.

What does it like to negotiate with someone who is trying hard to get a ransom whilst remaining in the dark? What can you expect from such negotiations? In this webcast, Marc Rivero, senior security researcher, GReAT at Kaspersky will observe various tactics used by ransomware groups, explain how the companies are trying to negotiate with these cybercriminals, and what outcome such negotiations may have.

In this webinar, you will learn:
- What Ransomware as a service (RaaS) model is
- What a data leak portal in RaaS terms is
- About ransomware negotiations: stages, means of communication
- What to do if you have been reached by a ransomware group
- Q&A session

Ransomware groups negotiation tactics: what you need to know

Unveiling the Darknet's Malware-as-a-Service model

2023 APT Landscape Unveiled: Trends, Challenges, Solutions

Within just a three-month period,  Kaspersky Lab technologies automatically detected a unique occurrence of three zero-day exploits in the wild. All of them were found in APT attacks in the Middle East and Asia. 
Attacks that go through zero-day vulnerabilities continue to be among the most dangerous, as they involve the exploitation of an undiscovered and unfixed weakness. This, though, makes them particularly difficult to detect and prevent. If such a vulnerability is found by criminals first, it can be used to create an exploit – a special malicious program that will have open access to an entire system. This “hidden threat” attack scenario is widely used by sophisticated actors in APT attacks and was used across all these three incidents.
Security researcher Anton Ivanov is head of the team of researchers that, in collaboration with Kaspersky Lab GReAT, disclosed zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows OS following Kaspersky Lab mechanisms detecting the exploit. In this webinar, Anton will share the details of the work done by his team while working on the following zero-days vulnerabilities:
•CVE-2018-8453
•CVE-2018-8589 
•CVE-2018-8611
Anton will elaborate on the technologies that made it possible to detect these exploits and discuss the process of searching and finding such vulnerabilities –  including both technical and ethical (such as responsible disclosure) aspects.
