Tackling Tech Debt–A CISO’s Practical Approach to Managing Legacy Infrastructure

Faced with the challenges of expanding attack surfaces and increasingly complex IT infrastructures, security leaders are realizing the need to rethink how they identify exploitable vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation actions.

In this webinar, Pentera security expert, Nelson Santos, and guest speaker, Forrester senior analyst, Erik Nost, will discuss the benefits of understanding the attacker’s point of view to effectively assess and improve risk exposure. We describe new technologies that augment existing vulnerability management practices by:

- Mapping individual security gaps to complete exploitable attack paths
- Validating the effectiveness of security controls in averting attempted attacks
- Prioritizing fixes based on business and risk impact

Vulnerability and Exposure Management: At a Turning Point

Windows Defender has undergone significant improvements that have made it increasingly challenging for hackers to execute malicious tools like Mimikatz. At Pentera Labs we’ve successfully overcome these obstacles and wanted to share with you valuable insights on how to effectively monitor and mitigate these evasive tactics to safeguard your systems.

Pentera Labs - Evading Detection by Windows Defender

Leaked credentials are one of the most common entry points for an adversary into an organization. Time and time again, we see some of the best laid plans and strongest security stacks falling victim to simple credential theft, which nearly lays out a red carpet for the adversary. Threat intelligence provides insight into potential organizational risks and the growing threat landscape, but we are still lacking the business impact that your credentials would have in the hands of an attacker.

The good news is that there are ways to identify and stop your leaked credentials from being used against you. Join this session to learn how to manage your security exposure in the evolving threat landscape of 2023.

XPOSURE 2023 - Adversary Abuse of Leaked Credentials

In spite of organizations’ continuous investment in strengthening their security defenses, security teams struggle with answering a simple question: Will my defenses stand up to an attack?

Pentera CPO, Ran Tamir, will discuss security validation as a method for identifying an organization’s exploitable security gaps across an ever-growing attack surface. Through pragmatic tips and examples, we will show how security validation can provide an accurate real-time read of an organization’s security posture, and optimize remediation efforts based on actual security exposures in the live IT environment.

XPOSURE 2023 - Security Validation Fundamentals for Executives

Attackers are increasingly leveraging security control misconfigurations to breach networks, and DNS attacks, in particular, are a popular way to do so. In fact, in 2022, 88% of organizations reported facing at least one type of this attack. This session will explore how attackers can leverage domain generation algorithms to advance C2 over DNS in a misconfigured network and two possible ways to monitor against this threat.

Pentera Senior Security Researcher, Uriel Gabay, will lead this session.

In this session we will review the fresh findings of a global CISO poll conducted by Pentera in the domains of Penetration Testing and Security Validation.

XPOSURE 2023 - What 300 CISOs Say About 2023? - Poll Results Unveiled

The rapid pace of technological advancement means that security frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK or NIST may not always have the most up-to-date information. This, in turn, can create blind spots for CISOs and their teams. This is the case regarding IPv6, the newest Internet Protocol, which was released in 2011. Despite its prevalence, known examples of attacks exploiting the protocol are not listed in MITRE. This lack of awareness means defenders may be less aware of the need to secure it.

In this session, Pentera Security Researcher, Yotam Mazurik, will cover an example of how attackers can exploit IPv6 for traffic bending and how to mitigate.

XPOSURE 2023 - IPv6: Security Teams’ Blind Spot

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, security operations must adapt to meet the ever-evolving threat landscape. Detection-as-Code is a new approach that automates the creation, testing, and deployment of security detections, providing a more reliable and efficient method for security teams to stay ahead of cyber threats. This talk will provide an overview of the benefits and best practices of detection-as-code and how incorporating automated security validation as part of the detection process can efficiently reduce threat exposure.

It’s one thing to hold the organization to the highest standard of security protocols and policies, but have you ever asked a real-life attacker how they would approach your attack surface when considering an attack? 

Join ex-Anonymous/LulzSec black hat hacker Hector Monsegur (aka Sabu) as he discusses how an adversary would approach compromising your organization and how you should be proactive in managing threat exposure. Hector will go one step further to discuss how automation is an invaluable tool in securing your attack surface from all directions.

XPOSURE 2023 - How Hackers View Your Attack Surface

It's time to break away from traditional IT risk management techniques and embrace a fresh, practical approach: Exposure Management. With the increasing volume of discovered vulnerabilities and evergrowing attack surface, the Exposure Management approach enables you to manage risk by prioritizing the most critical threats based on their business impact. You will also have the answers to critical questions like "Is our security system really working as it should?" and "Are we ready to face the latest threats?".

In this session, Amitai Ratzon, Pentera CEO, will introduce the Exposure Management approach, putting the spotlight on Validation as a key factor in taking action. Join us to learn how this strategy enables you to be proactive and consistently mitigate risk.

Automated Security Validation ensures you can proactively assess, manage, and report the risks posed by security weaknesses at the time it matters most – when exploiting that vulnerability can be damaging. Gone are the days of a risk being prioritised just based on a CVSS score.

Hear from senior security engineer, Shak Ahmed, as he showcases real-life technical use-cases that reduce the perpetual lag and backlog of manual security validation tasks, help to remove your teams' resource constraints, and are designed to improve the accuracy of testing, detection, and remediation.

Why Automate Security Validation? Technical Use Cases

Leaked and stolen credentials continue to pose a critical risk to organizations globally. Each year, over 80% of web application breaches involve compromised credentials that appear on the dark web, paste sites and in data dumps shared by cybercriminals. While threat intelligence tools show which  credentials have been leaked, security teams still lack visibility into the potential damage they can cause. 

Join our webinar to learn how Pentera’s newest module, Credential Exposure. By combining real-world leaked credential feeds with its autonomous validation engine, Pentera challenges both internal and external attack surfaces to reveal the most exploitable security gaps & suggest a risk-based remediation plan.

Five Steps to Mitigate the Risk of Credential Exposure

When threats become increasingly complex and resources are limited, transforming how we operate is the only way to beat them.
