Beware of cybercriminals using inventive new tactics, including harnessing the power of AI for phishing attacks.

See how you can defend your business from email threats that are escalating in complexity and prevent attackers from infiltrating accounts, gaining access, moving laterally, monetising their crimes, and causing damage from within.

Join email security experts from Barracuda and Columbia University for an in-depth discussion about three of the latest and most prevalent threats and their impacts.

Phishing and AI: Unmasking new email threats

The Crime Prevention Warning from the PSNI is a reminder that QR code phishing attacks – or “Quishing” – are currently on the rise and present a significant threat to users and organisations alike. We are seeing an increasing danger around QR code attacks as they become more sophisticated, complex and harder to detect.

Watch this webinar where Barracuda experts will delve into this new threat.

Quishing: The rise of QR code attacks and account takeover

The expansion of the use of API-based apps is exponential — and so is the growth of cyber attacks that target web apps and APIs.

Join us for this webinar to find out why web apps and APIs are such an irresistible target for cybercriminals. Plus, follow along for a deep dive into the findings in Barracuda’s latest Threat Spotlight, packed with insights to help you implement best practices to protect your organisation against these threats.

So long as there are passwords, there will be phishing attacks. The only thing organisations have any control over is the methods relied on to authenticate end-users. If that method depends on some form of a password, it’s only a matter of time before that password is compromised.

Join our webinar where Barracuda expert Emre Tezisci will share his insights on passwordless authentication, including the evolution of security parameters, passwordless authentication: what it is and how it works, real-world attack examples, how companies should modernise their identity approach, and how Barracuda can help.

Passwordless authentication: mitigating a prime attack vector

Join Barracuda CTO Fleming Shi and special guest Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder of The Ponemon Institute for expert analysis and insight about the key findings from the recently published report 'Cybernomics 101', including the changing threat landscape, the rising costs of successful attacks, and the steps you can take to effectively harden your cybersecurity posture.

Join this insightful discussion on three cybersecurity predictions for 2024 and how to prepare for what’s coming.

Topics will include GenAI-driven attacks, Ransomware-as-a-Service, and Regulations.

Hear all about these topics in greater detail with our Barracuda experts. You’ll gain invaluable insights to help guide your resource allocations, investments, and process developments to effectively meet the challenges of the coming year.

3 cybersecurity predictions for 2024: GenAI, Ransomware, and Regulations

Your ransomware recovery depends on backup, so you need a secure, easy-to-use backup that offers role-based access control, encryption, and multiple copies of the data.

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup offers this for all of your Microsoft 365 data. It makes it easy to find and restore the data you want. It also offers important features, including immutable storage to protect the data against modification or removal.

For a quick look at our cloud backup solution, watch this short demo.

VPNs are no longer enough to secure your network connection.

While they worked to fill the gap in a pandemic, VPNs are no longer optimal for keeping businesses safe from the risk of a security breach.

Discover the streamlined access, increased security, and upgraded performance that ZTNA has to offer compared to traditional VPN technology.

We look forward to welcoming you to the webinar.

Beyond VPN: Securing your network with ZTNA

Ransomware. Accidental deletion. Intentional deletion. Accidental encryption.

A lot of things can happen to the data you have stored in your Microsoft 365 environment. And when it does, you need to be able to restore it quickly and completely—not just to avoid operational disruption, but also to ensure compliance with government regulations and with cyber-insurance policies.

Attend this eye-opening webinar and get all the facts about why your data in Microsoft 365 is at risk, and how to effectively address that risk using an advanced, highly secure cloud-based backup solution built specifically to protect and restore data in the cloud.

How to protect your business-critical data in Microsoft 365

In this insight-packed panel discussion, Barracuda CISO Riaz Lakhani, joined by visionary leaders Sinan Eren and Tim Jefferson, will look back at last year’s predictions about developments in the ransomware landscape, and evaluate how accurate they were based on threat data and incidents from 2023.

But that’s only the beginning. The panel will then talk about the newest trends in technology and cybersecurity, and will issue five core predictions about what you should expect to emerge in the 2024 threat landscape — and they’ll share best practices to prepare for what’s coming.

2024 Cybersecurity Predictions: New threats, new technologies, new defenses

According to the 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, more than 60% of data breaches over the past several years involved attacks on web applications—including some of the most damaging ransomware attacks.

Why are applications and APIs emerging as a favorite attack vector for criminal hackers? What are the dominant methods they use to penetrate networks? And how can you effectively protect your organisation against this rising tide of application-layer attacks?

Attend this important webinar to get clear, detailed answers to these and other questions.

The fast-growing threats to your apps and APIs — how to fight back

Approximately 80% of organisations do not use Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance - or DMARC when sending and receiving emails. DMARC is an important tool to help protect you from fast-growing phishing attacks that use domain spoofing to evade detection.

Failure to set up DMARC policies can leave your organisation exposed to an array of risks, and with email security standards evolving – there’s never been a better time to configure and implement a strong, modern DMARC policy.

DMARC: understanding email authentication and how to get it right

Artificial intelligence developers have made huge strides in recent months, transforming a wide variety of human endeavors. Unfortunately, that includes ransomware.  

Join this webinar and get expert insights and forecasts about the trends we can expect to see as ransomware—already a significant and costly threat—gains new, AI-based capabilities.

Ransomware in the age of artificial intelligence

The explosive rise in the use of APIs in modern app development has been accompanied by the appearance of new kinds of vulnerabilities — and new generations of application-layer threats created to exploit them.  

Join Barracuda application-security expert Tushar Richabadas for this webinar to gain detailed insights about how the latest threats operate. Plus, special guest presenter David Peppard — CTO of SuperCare Health — will share his company’s journey implementing best practices to minimise vulnerabilities and risks while benefiting from modern, streamlined application-development techniques.

WAAP for cloud and hybrid deployments: mitigating modern vulnerabilities

Cybercriminals are deploying sophisticated new kinds of phishing attacks that are undetectable by traditional email security solutions—and even by some of the most advanced solutions.

Attend this webinar to get a detailed explanation of how these new phishing techniques exploit online tools, special characters, and image-only emails to evade detection and commit fraud or credential theft leading to data breaches and other costly impacts.

At the webinar, you’ll discover how new AI/machine learning technologies can secure your organisations’ emails, users, access and data, by effectively detecting and blocking these sophisticated threats.
