MDR - The Extra Set of Eyes You Need to Protect Your Business

In 2021, businesses spent on average $1.85 million recovering from ransomware attacks, according to Sophos “State of Ransomware 2021”. Ransomware damages are costly, and now increasing attacks are forcing security leaders to re-evaluate their backup and recovery processes. However, there’s an even bigger disrupter to disaster recovery processes: cloud technology, which is changing the way data is protected and how people need to prepare for recovery.

Cloud-based business continuity and disaster recovery have long been hailed as a cost effective, accessible, and safe option for organisations looking to achieve operational resiliency. With increasing cyber attacks, supply chain difficulties, and natural disasters, organizations need to take a deeper look into how Cloud can impact their backup management and disaster recovery plan. 

In this episode, we’ll be looking at how organizations can effectively protect themselves in the age of Cloud. 

Join us to learn:
- How Cloud technology has evolved and impacted security leaders’ disaster recovery and business continuity plans over the past 18 months
- Differences between disaster recovery in cloud computing versus traditional disaster recovery
- Deciding between  on-premise data centers or a migration to cloud and how to incorporate Cloud into your disaster recovery plans 
- And more!

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in the Age of Cloud

Networking and Security Enhancements in NSX

When it comes to detecting the next cyber breach, would your organization pass the test? SE Labs recently conducted the industry’s first network detection and response (NDR) test against NSX NDR using a range of advanced persistent threats designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks.

Join two VMware experts: Lead Cybersecurity Engineer Ant Ducker and Chad Skipper, global security technologist in the Network and Advanced Security Business Group, for an in-depth look at the testing results and how NSX NDR provides security teams the visibility and context needed to take decisive action against adversaries and help implement Zero Trust with fewer tools and silos.

Detecting the Next Breach: How to Win the War With NSX NDR

Secure your vSphere Workloads with Built-in Protection

90% of cloud runs on Linux, but current countermeasures are focused on addressing Windows-based threats, leaving multi-cloud deployments vulnerable to attacks. So, is it any wonder that Linux-based malware is propagating in multi-cloud environments under the radar?

It’s not migration, it’s transformation. Join this session to hear why customers move away from their legacy VDI and app environment and onto the VMware Horizon platform. You’ll hear about all the learnings from the transformation that came along the way, including the good and the bad, so that you can apply towards the modernization of your legacy VDI and app environment.

Virtual Desktop Migration: Real Story Behind an Admin's Move to VMware Horizon

Enterprises are moving to a new approach of delivering applications in a more agile and scalable fashion. The acceleration to multi-cloud and modern applications as well as the increase in the number of cyberthreats and vulnerability exploits have accelerated the transformation around application security. Looking at the standard application lifecycle of design, develop, test and deploy, we tend to focus on the latter two stages. Application security is tested in preproduction staging, and when issues are discovered, this pushes them back to development. Addressing security threats after the fact carries a huge cost and requires additional investment in infrastructure and controls, which prolongs the exposure to threats. In this session, you will learn how VMware can solve the modern application’s security challenges.

Better Secure Your Modern Applications with No Compromise for Speed and Agility

Simplify Security Complexity

Too many silos? What if you could reduce your reliance on point security tools and connect your security control points? Too many surfaces to defend? What if you could deliver security from the beginning, distributed with your assets wherever they reside, to better secure more of your technology stack and move faster? Too little context? What if you could see the entire situation, respond with confidence, and enable uptime in the face of risk? Extended detection and response (XDR) helps implement Zero Trust by establishing an end-to-end security posture, allowing better, faster detection and a coordinated response to defend your critical assets. XDR enables transitioning to next-gen systems and modern apps without increasing security complexity, reduces your attack surface, and provides an edge over your adversaries in reducing your exposure.

XDR: The Next Frontier

Application environments today, in public and private clouds, aim to improve end-user experience, developer agility and IT service delivery. However, these distributed environments are more complex, siloed, and prone to app performance and security issues. Also, applications are increasingly moving from monolithic to microservices architectures and hosted in Kubernetes cluster environments. Consistent visibility, control, and security for applications is paramount across any app, any platform and any cloud. Learn how the Modern Network solution comprised of NSX and the Virtual Cloud Network portfolio, adds unique value to VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware Cloud in hyperscalers with enterprise-class network and application connectivity, consistent security policies, advanced threat protection, and visibility across all SDDCs.

Multi-Cloud Networking and Security with the Modern Network

Hair-pinning traffic out to dedicated black boxes puts enormous processing load on firewalls—making it cost prohibitive to monitor and secure every workload in the multi-cloud. VMware NSX firewall reimagines East-West security by using a distributed- and software-based approach to attach appropriate security policies to every workload that works for any workload in any cloud. Gain insights on how to stop lateral movement with advanced threat prevention capabilities via IDS/IPS, sandboxing, NTA, and NDR.

A Modern Firewall for any Cloud and any Workload

Cobalt Strike, a tool that support red teams in attack simulation exercises, provides several techniques to execute attacks that compromise a target network, establish a bulkhead in the network, and then move laterally to gain additional access to computers, accounts and, eventually, data. While the intention of Cobalt Strike was to provide a framework to test network defenses, the power provided by the tool was not lost on malicious actors. Given its dual nature and wide adoption by both sides of the security battlefield, it is not surprising that Cobalt Strike-related detections account for a substantial portion of alerts in most networks. This presentation discusses how Cobalt Strike’s abused components (especially the Beacon) can be detected at the host and network levels.

A Tale of Two Beacons: Detecting Implants at the Host and Network Levels

Defense in depth is defined as deploying multiple layers of defense across all endpoints, even in the cloud, to protect an organization from cybersecurity events. This session will teach you how to protect, detect, respond to and recover from cybersecurity attacks across all technology stacks, regardless of their purpose or location, with VMware solutions for end users, private clouds, public clouds, and modern applications.

Mount a Robust Defense in Depth Strategy Against Ransomware

We often hear that complexity is the enemy of security. This statement is more true today than ever before. With the ever-increasing pace of business mixed with the changing landscape of nation states and the democratization of threats, complexity has never been greater. And while security investments are at an all-time high, security practitioners continue to be under resourced. During this session, you will gain insights on how leveraging security as a distributed service and connecting control points, can lead to greater situational intelligence. And you will learn how this unique approach is enabling businesses to bring technologies and teams together to redefine security to make it simpler, faster, and smarter.

A Virtual Cloud Network, built on VMware NSX technology, is a ubiquitous software layer from data center to cloud to edge infrastructure. It provides a secure, consistent foundation that drives your business forward.
