Unleashing AI for cybersecurity: Empowering non-experts to take action

As defences against mass-phishing emails have evolved, so have attacker tactics in targeting executives and employees. Spear-phishing, vishing, social media platforms, and even AI are now part of the standard aresenal for criminal and nation-state threat actors. Marie Moe from Mandiant's Strategic team and Stephen Begley from our Red Team discuss the sophisticated attacks used by modern attackers, including what Mandiant Threat Intelligence is seeing in the wild, how these attacks work, how organisations can defend themselves from the latest generation of attacks, and how we see these attacks changing and evolving in the future.

The Phuture of Phishing

No technology has ever emerged as quickly as generative AI has – or come with such a confusing set of myths about how threat actors are already leveraging AI-driven tools to overwhelm enterprise defenses.

Join us as we separate fact from fiction and put myths to rest about the use and capabilities of generative AI.

Watch this webinar to learn:
• How threat actors specifically use generative AI to bypass or compromise enterprise security systems;
• Real-world applications of generative AI that are proven successful in enhancing cybersecurity posture;
• Generative AI's projected growth rate and how it will affect your enterprise's ability to keep pace with security protocols.

Generative AI: Myths, Realities, and Practical Use Cases

To fully realise the benefits of cyber threat intelligence, we need to effectively communicate the threat landscape.

This webinar will explore the benefits of using operational profiling to build a more precise understanding of adversaries’ attributes. Adopting a richer vocabulary of descriptors offers far more than just nuanced understanding and can be used strategically to improve security outcomes. Crucially, a clearer understanding of threats allows intelligence to be applied more effectively across a wider range of use cases beyond the security operation centre.

Leveraging Operational Profiling to Improve Security Outcomes

Security operations are struggling. According to Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), the primary challenges security teams are facing include spending too much time addressing high priority/emergency issues and not enough time on strategy and process improvement, along with monitoring security across a growing and changing attack surface.

As cloud adoption continues to grow, so too does the number of cloud-native security threats.  However, cloud environments can present significant opportunities to improve security with the right tools and processes in place.

In our recent “State of Cloud Threat Detection and Response Survey", 71% of respondents said that “entire classes of threats are eliminated by migrating to the cloud” and 82% stated that “the cloud affords the ability to process more data, including on-prem data, which can improve detection across the board.” To reap these benefits, however, organizations need to understand that effectively securing the cloud involves more than “lifting and shifting” their existing security tools and processes. The cloud presents a different attack surface across various cloud services and data repositories, each with different attack tactics, potential misconfigurations and context.  

Join us to learn:
 - How TDIR in the cloud differs from traditional on-premises approaches
 - How an end-to-end workflow can work for you
 - What you should look for in a turnkey TDIR solution

Simplify End-to-End Threat Detection, Investigation and Response in the Cloud
