Back in the day when your users were all on the network and your applications resided in your physical data center, it made sense to establish a secure perimeter around your network. But those days are over, the perimeter is gone, and network security is all but irrelevant.

Instead, you need to put your defenses and controls where the connections occur— the internet — so that every connection is fast and secure, no matter how or where users connect or where their applications reside.

By moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud and untethering employees from their desks, you can realize tremendous advantages in productivity, agility, and cost containment. With our 100% cloud built secure platform, Zscaler can help you make the move to the cloud, securely.

Join us as we present the findings from the Zscaler ThreatLabz 2023 Ransomware Report. Discover the latest trends in ransomware attacks, backed up by data from the world’s largest security cloud.

Zscaler experts Nirmal Singh, Director of Security Research, and Brett Stone-Gross, Sr. Director of Threat Intelligence, will review the latest ransomware research from the past year and share:

• Key ransomware trends, including encryption-less ransom attacks
• The fallout from the disbanding of the Conti ransomware group
• The evolution of cross-platform ransomware development
• Attack statistics by industry, geography, and ransomware family

• How to protect your organization from ransomware with a zero trust strategy

Insights into the Latest Ransomware Trends

The way we work has changed. Your apps are no longer in your data centers and your users are no longer in the office. Traditional WAN architectures, with their castle-and-moat approach, introduce unnecessary latency, create performance bottlenecks, and impair digital experience for your users. At the same time, as users have moved off the corporate network, IoT and OT devices are proliferating. These devices have different requirements, and introduce new security challenges. Branch networking needs to evolve to meet these changing needs.

Join this webinar to learn how infrastructure teams can transform their branch network, reduce cost and complexity, and improve security all at the same time using Zero Trust Branch Connectivity and the SASE framework. This live session will help you:
• Understand the requirements for a cafe-like branch experience
• Dive into how legacy WAN architectures leave security gaps and create performance bottlenecks
• Learn how zero trust principles and the SASE framework can help modernize your branch connectivity and security

Modernizing Branch Connectivity with Zero Trust

Covid shifted enterprise network spending. There is more of a focus on supporting the remote and distributed workforce. As a result, many enterprises are looking at new approaches that deliver strong, secure broadband access for remote users and offices alike.

Join this new webinar as we discuss:
• Covid-inspired network architecture changes that are here to stay.
• The shifting network architecture investments that will continue due to these changes.
• The need to expand traditional approaches to include new services (e.g., SASE) and new approaches to connectivity (e.g., private 5G, satellite broadband, and more).

Changing Network Architecture Investments

Bad actors love to deliver threats in files. Persistent and persuasive messages convince unsuspecting victims to accept and open files from unknown sources, executing the first step in a cyber attack. 

This continues to happen whether the file is an EXE or a Microsoft Excel document. Far too often, end users have an illusion of security, masked by good faith efforts of other users and (ineffective) security controls. This creates a virality effect for ransomware, malware, spyware, and annoying grayware and adware to be spread easily from user to user and machine to machine. To stop users from saying “I reject your reality and substitute my own!” – it’s time to bust some myths about file-based attacks.

Testing in three! Two! One! Join Zscaler’s Vinay Polurouthu, Principal Product Manager, and Amy Heng, Product Marketing Manager, to:

*Bust the 9 most common assumptions and myths about file-based threats
*Uncover the latest evasion trends and detect stealthy delivery methods
*Prevent patient zero infections and zero-day security events from unknown files

A MythBusting Special — 9 Myths about File-based Threats

*This is a replay session*

Over the past two years, there has been a significant increase in human-operated threat actors using stealthy tactics, social engineering, and compromised identities to bypass security controls and breach well-defended organizations.

Despite organizations transitioning to a Zero Trust architecture, they remain vulnerable to identity-based threats, malicious insiders, and lateral movement.

Security teams need a proactive approach to stop these advanced threats.

Join us for an hour of learning as we discuss how you can extend Zero Trust with Deception. We will cover the following:

*Why have attackers shifted their focus to compromising users and applications
*What Deception is and Why it is effective
*How Deception fits into a Zero Trust Architecture
*How Deception detects compromised users, lateral movement, and defense evasion techniques such as EDR bypasses
*A live attack simulation and how Deception detects and disrupts the attack at different stages
