The secret weapon that behavioral analytics can bring to the fight
How collaboration and communication make for more effective threat hunting

While the news of the latest zero day attack always dominates the headlines, a more insidious risk is building much closer to home: the vulnerabilities posed by unsecured supply chains.

How can security professionals get their arms around this problem that touches everything from hardware and software to legal contracts and operational processes?

Join IronNet cyber strategist and former CenturyLink CISO Bill Swearingen as he hosts guest Alla Valente, a Forrester Research analyst covering GRC and Third-Party Risk, to provide some practical advice on tackling this massive issue.
We'll cover these and other practical recommendations:
* The top questions to ask in your vendor RFPs to assess security risks
* Best practices for creating a risk management program that includes supply chain risks
* Techniques to identify significant supply chain risk
* Most common tactics attackers use when targeting the supply chain
* Defenses, frameworks, and other defenses tactics

Russia is back in the news this month with their Drovorub malware, developed by APT28, a.k.a. Fancy Bear. This “swiss army knife” of malware can enable multiple functions and is notoriously difficult to detect. We’ll also dissect the IOS malicious SDK being distributed via ad networks — and how attacks like both of these can be detected. Join two members of IronNet’s elite SOC, VP of Cyber Operations Anthony Grenga and Detection Research Engineer Peter Rydzynski, along with Oliver Wai, VP of product marketing, for an entertaining deep-dive into why these events matter, and what IronNet saw in customer environments over the month of August.

Despite many cybersecurity professionals claiming confidence in their enterprise cyber defense technologies and systems—and continuing to invest in additional solutions—malicious attacks are still getting through. These attacks are avoiding detection, slipping past defenses and compromising network security, well before anyone realizes it has happened. Nation-state actors are joining together to dedicate economic and human resources to cyberattacks at a scale and speed that demand an equally coordinated defense. And they are not alone. Organized cybercriminal attack groups have risen almost 25 percent year over year and, armed with nation-state level capabilities, are targeting the healthcare sector with the ability to monetize their attacks across healthcare’s vast ecosystem and supply chain.

Add in catastrophic events such as COVID-19, and the sector in general simply cannot devote the time, talent, and resources to get ahead of the threat landscape. Combined, this has created an inflection point in how we as companies, sectors, and governments think about the models that better protect our citizens, assets, and industries. Defense in isolation is no longer an option, and the pivot is to a Collective Defense capability that can respond in real time and provide situational awareness across the sector without additional cybersecurity resources.

In this webinar you’ll learn:
How collaborating on defense can shift an organization's threat detection strategy towards a more proactive posture and bolster its position against cybercriminals and state-actors
How security executives can get the C-suite and board in support of a collective defense approach.

In the post-pandemic world, security professionals must prepare for a new level of untrusted network activity and cyber attacks as remote working is expected to continue. What are the questions you should be asking, and how can a new approach to cybersecurity, one based on a collective defense, help improve your security posture?

The Cyberspace Solarium Commission’s March 2020 report fundamentally reconceptualizes how the U.S. can innovate to better defend itself in cyberspace. The report offers bold new ideas including planning for the continuity of the economy and strengthening key entities with direct government support. The report also highlights the critical need for organizations both public and private to work together to establish a collective defense capability.

Join Jamil Jaffer, Senior VP at IronNet Cybersecurity, and his guest Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI), Co-Chair of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, as they discuss the Commission’s recommendations and how collaboration is key to a strong collective cyber defense posture.

For decades, companies have been defending against cyber attacks on their own while adversaries have been organizing into increasingly sophisticated networks of attackers.

A better way to combat cyber threats is by sharing and correlating events across organizations, both within and across industry sectors.
