[WEBINAR]: The Biggest Cyber Threats for 2020

Presented by

Tim Holman, CEO and Founder of 2|SEC Consulting

About this talk

2|SEC Consulting will present an overview of top Cyber Threats for 2020; and what organisations should be looking out for when securing systems for the next decade. Research is drawn from 2|SEC Consulting’s Virtual CISO, Cyber Security Audit, Cyber Essentials and Penetration Test team engagements over 2019; and the webinar will cover the Top 5 Cyber Threats found: 1. Passwords You think your password is secure? Think again. Billions of user accounts and passwords have been compromised and reused by hackers. We will look at the mechanics and also ways to use passwords in a more secure way. 2. Phishing Be it through spoofed emails, text messages or impersonation through phone calls, credentials can be simple to acquire; and can be used against you. Whilst users will undoubtedly fall foul of phishing attacks, as they just like clicking on links, don’t let your whole organisation be taken down as a result! 3. Malware / Ransomware Ransomware is still the biggest money spinner for organised cybercrime gangs. It is rarely targeted. Don’t be a drive-by victim and leave your doors open. 4. Software Vulnerabilities Critical vulnerabilities are identified on a continual basis, which if exploited, could have devastating results. Organisations need a sense of urgency when it comes to patching; and this shouldn’t be seen as a low-level IT problem. 5. Nation states and organised criminals Attacks step up a level when financial resources are at the disposal of an adversary; and they are free to act without any threat of arrest. Cyber espionage on an industrial scale. If one hacker can do damage, think about what a team of 1000 state-sponsored hackers can do. Please note: Attendees will earn one credit of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) for attending this webinar; and an attendance certificate will be provided upon request
