How AI-powered Social Engineering is Targeting You

Cybersecurity threats have been growing year on year, with 2022 seeing ransomware attacks increase by 87% against industrial organizations. If successful, these breaches can come at a high cost; ransomware extortion totaled $456.8 million in 2022, after a high of $765.6 million in 2021. 

But is cyber insurance the answer? Unlike other forms of insurance, cyber insurance language is not standardized, and this can lead to significant variations in policy coverage. Certain offenses, like cyber warfare, are often excluded from coverage, while individual insurers may disagree on what constitutes an approved “loss event.” Yet is it worse to be left without any protection at all?

This panel will discuss:
- The real stakes in cybersecurity right now
- What comprises a robust cyber insurance policy? 
- How the market has changed in 2023

Join Michelle Drolet, Founder & CEO, Towerwall, Michelle Lord, SVP, Eastern Insurance, and Vince Kearns, Cyber Risk Specialist, Trend Micro for this timely panel.

The 2022 Cyber Security Landscape

Just as enterprise organizations are embracing cloud computing, so too are cyber attackers and everyone is justifiably concerned. For all the advantages of the cloud, the framework is not impervious to cyber threats and so security protocols must always be a priority. Yet the myth that cloud is less secure than owned, on-premise security is just that: a myth. A 2020 Gartner forecast stated IaaS workloads would experience 60% fewer security incidents than traditional data centers — at least.

In order to comprehensively deploy a cloud security network, companies must understand the realities of their infrastructures. Identifying the responsibility of the cloud and that of the customer is critical, as is learning what services can be reasonably expected from a leading cloud provider. Only with the right facts can you build a truly secure network.

Join this panel of experts as they discuss the most common myths of cloud security and what you should actually be building your strategy around:

- Cloud vs. On-Premise Security: Which is easier to target?
- Is a public cloud more vulnerable than a private one?
- How automated can — and should — the cloud’s security protocol be?
- Accessibility: How much is too much?

Moderated by: 
Michelle Drolet, CEO, Towerwall

Jessica Charter, EMEA Security Principal, Trustwave
Taylor Smith, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks
Rajesh Agnihotri, Senior Solutions Engineer, Middle East, SonicWall
Scott Fanning, Senior Director, Cloud Security, CrowdStrike

Dispelling the Myths and Misconceptions of Cloud Security

As organizations face several different challenges in 2022 and beyond, preparing for a cyber attack is as important as ever. Businesses face a myriad of cyber threats; from phishing to ransomware, it's imperative that your organization puts in place measures to protect your most important assets.

Join top security leaders for an interactive discussion on how to better secure the enterprise in 2021 and learn more about:

- Trends in cyber attacks and what's at risk
- Prevention best practices
- Solution recommendations for attack detection and response
- Top threats on the horizon and what's at risk
- How organisations can take the necessary steps to prepare for the unexpected and build business resilience

Threatscape 2022: Cyber Attack Prevention

Zero Trust is widely regarded as the best approach for protecting organizations, but implementing it is a journey rather than a one-off purchase. 

In this panel,  Michelle Drolet, CEO & Founder of Towerwall, and Tamer Baker, Chief Technology Officer, Zscaler will talk about the adoption of Zero Trust and walk through best practices for establishing it within your company.

Your takeaways post-webinar:

1. Give them an inch, they'll go a mile. What is the right way to handle insiders before they become a threat? 

2. User experience. How to make things seamless and non-disruptive. 

3. Avoiding the "easy way" to Cloud Security. We can't just take what we have today and try and uplift that into the cloud and/or build a new zero trust environment from it. 

4. Hide and Go Seek? Hide all applications from accessibility from the internet (that means not at all being reachable from the internet like we do today with DMZ's and cloud firewalls).
