Networking and Security for the Multi-Cloud Era

By now you’ve heard of TrickBot attacks targeting the healthcare industry thanks to recent CISA, FBI and HHS advisory reports and warnings. We now know that cyber attackers using Ryuk often try to limit suspicious activity by using native tools that allow them to move laterally within the network and remain undetected often for months. The malicious attackers in the Solarwinds breach spent nine months making lateral movements once inside perimeter defenses. How confident are you in your data center’s current security posture? What steps have you taken to ensure your internal, east-west traffic is secure to stop ransomware and its adversaries from exfiltrating your sensitive data?

Join VMware’s Ambika Kapur, VP Networking and Security Business, and Chad Skipper, Global Security Technologist, to learn how to better defend your east-west traffic against the damaging lateral movement of cyberattacks, increasing protection of your patient data, key medical systems and, ultimately, healthcare brand.
 
In this webinar you’ll learn how to:
Protect your organization from ransomware like Ryuk and BazarLoader delivered via TrickBot
Harden your internal security posture via a cost-effective software-based model
Stop the tradeoffs between security coverage and operational simplicity
Build a network security framework that can withstand the test of global upheavals
Better protect your patient data, key medical systems and healthcare brand from harm

The growing adoption of encryption for internal network traffic has also enabled attackers to evade traditional detections with lateral movement over encrypted channels. In this session we will look at multiple ways to detect and block malicious network traffic that is encrypted—from TLS decryption, to encrypted network traffic analysis and agentless malware detection using guest introspection.

Hairpinning traffic out to dedicated black boxes puts enormous processing load on firewalls—making it cost prohibitive to monitor and secure every workload in the data center. Learn how VMware NSX Service-defined Firewall

(SDFW) reimagines East-West security by using a distributed- and software-based approach to attach appropriate security policies to every workload. Gain insights on how to stop lateral movement with advanced threat protection capabilities via IDS/IPS, sandboxing, and NDR.

The global pandemic created an expanding remote workforce almost overnight.
However, cyber criminals are now increasingly focused on the delivery of ransomware, especially targeting high-profile victims. In addition, there has been a resurgence of dated exploits, likely targeting poorly maintained computers. These highly evasive, sophisticated, and targeted attacks are actively trying to spread and deliver malicious payloads to exfiltrate data.
This session will dive into insights derived from data collected from VMware sensors deployed behind firewalls and in the data center—giving you a unique look into attacks that have already breached perimeter defenses.

Cyber attacks on companies, governments and individuals grew significantly in 2020. What can enterprises do to better protect their data? Is breach prevention even possible?

Hear from the experts on what the new normal for organizations looks like, the cybersecurity best practices to adopt and what's in store for the rest of 2021.

The topics up for discussion will include:
- Cybersecurity in the new normal
- How attackers have take advantage of the pandemic
- Critical steps to take on the path to preventing data breaches
- Why data protection and cybersecurity should not be separate functions
- Best practices and solutions for breach detection and response
- Lessons from the field and recommendations for CISOs


Moderated by:
Kalani Enos, CEO, KEnos Technologies

Panelists include:
Michelle Drolet, CEO, Towerwall
Christopher Kruegel, VP Security Services - Network and Security Business Unit (NSBU) at VMware
Ido Safruti, CTO & Co-Founder, PerimeterX

In most major cyber breaches, the real damage is done not by the initial breach, but by the lateral movement and persistence of adversaries in the network. Hairpinning traffic to centralized firewalls creates complexity and choke points, making it impractical to monitor and secure every workload in the data center. This creates blind spots that attackers exploit. VMware NSX Firewall reimagines East-West security by using a distributed, software-based approach. What does this look like in practice? In this session, hear directly from customers on how they modernized East-West security to eliminate blind spots with operational ease.
We’ll discuss their challenges, experiences, and results.
