Ransomware-as-a-service and big game hunting: Gain a basic understanding of the two most popular Ransomware extortion methods used by Ransomware gangs and employed to create a product to extract revenue from the victims (customers). See for yourself how to gain a foothold and understand a shift in defense posture in order to prevent catastrophic Ransomware damage.

Join this webinar to learn more about  Ransomware as a business model that needs to be understood in the proper context. In that context, you are the product.

Why the next Ryuk Ransomware will bypass your defenses

Just like legitimate businesses adapt, transform and innovate, cybercriminals behind major strains of ransomware are updating their business model. Ransomware crooks are no longer just scrambling your data and demanding you to pay up to get it back. They’re upping the ante by stealing your data first and only then encrypting it. That way the criminals hit you with two reasons to pay: buy back the decryption key AND prevent us from telling the world we hacked you (or selling your data to the highest bidder).

Join our webinar to learn about the history of this transformation, hear the latest examples of organizations affected by this type of leakware (aka doxware) and see a live demo of exfiltration-enabled ransomware.

From Ransomware to Leakware

Why Israel is the Pioneer in Cybersecurity?

Are you still using “traditional” antivirus to protect your endpoints? Are you losing sleep over what to do next, and how to better protect your organization from ransomware and other advanced attacks? Your colleagues have probably told you about so-called NGAV product migration and tuning nightmares. You have also heard about Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), but wonder if you can afford it from both staffing and budgetary perspectives.

Join this webinar to get the clear breakdown of all options on the table with the corresponding pros and cons. If you are looking for ways to augment or replace your AV, this webinar is for you.

NGAV or EDR. What Should We Trust?

Ransomware, ransomware, ransomware. Why are our current endpoint defenses so inefficient? We will take three leading endpoint security (antivirus) products and demonstrate live how ransomware developers use trivial techniques to bypass all of them. Often a single line of code is all that’s needed to render antivirus ineffective and all data lost.
 
NOTE: This webinar is applicable to technical audience only. We will be digging right in the source code and compiling ransomware on the fly.

How Does Ransomware Fool Top Antivirus Products?

Never let a crisis go to waste. That’s the attitude of most attackers being played out in cyberspace in the past few months. In this webinar we are going to review the types of attacks that specifically leverage the coronavirus pandemic. From phishing to BEC, from ransomware to state-sponsored disinformation campaigns and more. Whether you are in healthcare or in tax and accounting, no one seems to be safe. 

Awareness is the first step in preparing your organization for the possible impact and making plans to bolster your defenses.

COVID-19 - What Will Attackers Do?

Every time a cyberattacker tricks a user into clicking on a malicious link or downloading a malicious file, all the blame falls on the user’s shoulders. The experts insist the solution is more education and training to increase user’s awareness levels. This is like saying that if a canary dies in a coalmine, we need to make canaries healthier. With 90%+ of successful attacks supposedly the result of user action, we need to reconsider how we look at these attacks. Using counterterrorism and safety science strategies, we break attacks down into 3 phases: Left of Boom, Boom, and Right of Boom. We then focus on Right of Boom, and go into strategies to mitigate potential loss initiated by the user actions.

The reality is that no matter how well prepared your users are, there will always be some action that initiates loss. Consider that even if users are 100% aware, there will always be a malicious user, where awareness helps their attacks. This presentation addresses the inevitable and lays out a multi-tiered strategy to proactively mitigate loss.

Cybersecurity Challenges and Solutions in Healthcare

Verizon research finds that more than 90% of data breaches result from user failures. The industry’s response has long been to recommend implementing employee awareness training programs, but that’s has proven to be largely ineffective. Even after undergoing training, users will inevitably make mistakes. Awareness also does nothing to prevent malicious user actions. 

In this webinar, I will introduce you to someone who can help: the Human Security Officer.

I’ll explain why your organization should create the position of Human Security Officer - someone who is responsible for identifying any business processes that are susceptible to data breaches resulting from human vulnerabilities, and determining the technology, process and awareness countermeasures to prevent and mitigate the losses. I will also cover the processes to identify the underlying vulnerabilities and then prioritize the countermeasures.

Cybersecurity Challenges and Solutions for State & Local Governments

Steganography has been used for centuries to hide a secret message in an otherwise harmless container. Its latest iteration is a malware delivery vehicle. 

In this webinar we will review how malware developers use steganography for their devious purposes. Traditionally, steganography was leveraged for covert communication (e.g., exfiltration of sensitive data from an organization in the way that bypasses DLP and other security controls). More recently, it has become a carrier for malware. For example, in the latest attack targeting a Nyotron customer, that our endpoint prevention and response (EPR) solution detected and blocked, the Ursnif banking trojan attempted to use steganography to insert a malicious Powershell script into the organization.

Join us for a brief overview of steganography, its use in the physical and digital worlds, followed by a step by step walkthrough and demo of a recent attack leveraging steganography.

Steganography + Malware - a Match Made in Hacker Heaven

Remember WannaCry - the ransomware attack that two years ago infected Windows devices across 150 countries and resulted in an estimated damage of $4B?. We now know that WannaCry was completely preventable. Microsoft had issued a patch two months prior to the attack. If you think WannaCry was bad, brace yourself: We have discovered a technique that attackers may use to deliver ransomware that most organizations have no way to detect or prevent.

This webinar will cover a Windows evasion technique called “RIPlace” that, when used to maliciously alter files, bypasses most existing ransomware protection technologies. In fact, even Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) products are blind to this technique, which means these operations will not be visible for future incident response and investigation purposes. 

The technique leverages an issue at the boundary between a Windows design flaw and improper error handling of an edge-case scenario by filter drivers of security products. While not a vulnerability per say, the technique is extremely easy for malicious actors to take advantage of with barely two lines of code. RIPlace abuses the way file rename operations are (mis)handled using a legacy Windows function.

We will review existing ransomware detection methods, the workflow of a typical ransomware and provide a live demo of RIPlace bypassing a number of anti-ransomware technologies.

“RIPlace” - Does It Make Ransomware Unstoppable?

At the end of the day it is not about the technology that runs the system but the humans that detect, respond, and or are co-opted to circumvent it.  This session will provide insight into attacks as well as the human breach interactions.

ISSA International Series:  Breach Response - Humans in Security

Overview:
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) has been rising in popularity after the realization of major gaps in the anti-malware technologies. But is EDR already becoming obsolete? 

Join this webinar to be the first to get the results of the latest Osterman Research survey on EDR.

Guest speaker Osterman Research Founder Michael Osterman and Nyotron Sr. Director of Product Rene Kolga will review the survey findings and discuss the critical role of EDR in modern organizations, and how it must evolve to keep pace with the ever-changing threat landscape. 

Attendees will learn:
•Why organizations are turning to EDR
•Ranking of EDR features
•Possible concerns about deploying EDR solutions
•What questions you should ask an EDR vendor
•Why the future of EDR is spelled E-P-R

Endpoint Detection and Response - Past, Present and Future

Most security solution buyers assume they’re protected against known malware. Numbers like 99.9% are common in vendors’ marketing materials. Hence, efficacy conversations tend to focus instead on the solution’s performance against the unknown, zero-day threats. However, with between half a million and one million new pieces of commodity malware created every day, how are antivirus solutions keeping up? Where is this database of signatures, hashes, reputation and behavior stored for over a billion of known pieces of malware? Is the 99.9% number an illusion or reality?

In this webinar we will leverage a study of three leading antivirus products against 60,000 pieces of known new and old malware. The results will surprise you...

Can ILOVEYOU Still Infect You?

What will 2019 bring for the security landscape? How many Marriott-like breaches should you expect? What new types of attacks are you likely to see, and what can you do now to prepare for them? Nyotron’s team of security experts will have the answers for you during our December 19th live webinar. 

Making informed predictions first requires thinking back on 2018 with a critical eye. We will review a few of the most significant vulnerabilities and data breaches that made national headlines, from the City of Atlanta to Meltdown and Spectre, to the Marriott debacle and why the healthcare industry appears unable to defend itself. Our panel will also discuss the issues and trends they expect will dominate 2019, including adversarial artificial intelligence (AI) and destructive attacks on ICS.

We will wrap up with ideas on how you can make an effective case for additional security budget and how to educate yourself about the changing threat landscape (and to get those CPE’s before the year’s end).

Beyond the Marriott Breach - What to Expect in 2019

Security professionals accept the paradigm of “more protection equals more false positives (FPs)” as a fact of life. The tighter they make the “screws” of the security policies in their DLP, Web or Email Gateways, UEBA, application control/whitelisting and AV tools, the higher the likelihood something benign is misclassified as malicious. That’s why it is not uncommon to see false positive rates exceed 5% using the most aggressive settings. 

What if we were thinking about this wrong? Can we break this correlation between more security and more FPs? 

During this webinar we will briefly review the definition of false positives, false negatives, true positives and true negatives, as well as the history of “more protection = more FPs” paradigm. Then we will turn the paradigm on its head and discuss how more protection can actually mean fewer FPs.
