Cyber Security Predictions for 2021

With 94% of cyber-attacks originating via email, traditional security tools are no longer enough.

Join us for this special seminar where 2-Sec Consulting in conjunction with our partner organisation Darktrace will explore:

- What’s fearware and why is it so successful?

- How prevalent are deep fakes? Would your employees be able to spot an impersonator in their inbox?

- How does AI work for email security?

- How do you catch attackers that are using stolen credentials, and seem legitimate?

The Self-Defending Inbox: An Immune System for Email

Ransomware Attacks will affect your business. From recently published news we have all witnessed the huge business impact that attacks have had on many high-profile organisations. 
 
It’s now possible to test your existing security controls, by running attack scenarios against your system components such as Firewalls, Email gateways and against a virtual machine imagine of your laptop/desktop to see if they are configured to defend you effectively.
 
Misconfigurations, lack of security updates and patching will allow attacks to foster and cause widespread issues.
 
We can run simulated assessments to help show you where any gaps are and provide remediation advice to get you back on track.
 
Let us show you how to gain confidence in your security budget allocation and assess the effectiveness of your systems against an attack.

Join us for this special webinar where 2-Sec Consulting in conjunction with our partner organisation 'Picus' will show you how to protect and configure your systems from an attack.

Are you under attack?

Security methodology matters, but the way risk is measured determines how success is ultimately reviewed.
Join us for this special webinar on Thursday 25th June, as we look at how to measure success in cyber security.
We will highlight how Standards and Regulations are a great mechanism, but you need to look beyond!

Detecting and Responding to BYOH Cyber Threats during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Join us to learn how to reduce the risk of employees using their own PCs and devices to access business systems. This is particularly pertinent where some companies have simply run out of laptops to furnish their employees with, and have asked their staff to use their own systems. Security, as always, seems to be an afterthought, and it is critical that any BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenario is tightly secured, preferably before being released into the wild.
