Collective Defense: The CISO Perspective

With the U.S. election only one week away, the security posture of the nation’s future is on the minds of these two top-ranked former military leaders. Join General (Ret) Keith Alexander, General (Ret) Jack Keane, and IronNet CMO Russ Cobb as they analyze what the next four years could look like with regards to cybersecurity threats from nation states like China, Russia, and Iran. Tap into their combined experience and intelligence access as we tackle questions such as:
Is Russia holding true to their claim not to interfere in the U.S. election? Are they likely to interfere?
How might cybersecurity policy and strategy look in the next four years?
Should the U.S. adopt an all-of-nation approach to cybersecurity, similar to China and Russia, to even the playing field? What would that look like?
Which adversaries pose risk and where are the most likely confrontations to occur in the next four years ?

Speakers:
GEN (Ret) Jack Keane, Chairman, Institute for the Study of War, Former Vice Chief of Staff, US Army
GEN (Ret) Keith Alexander, IronNet Founder & Co-CEO
Russ Cobb, IronNet CMO

Get the latest insights on the global cyber threat landscape from IronNet founder and co-CEO GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander, this time joined by Vice Admiral (Ret.) Jan Tighe. As political tensions continue to escalate between the U.S. and adversarial nation states, protecting critical infrastructure rises to the top of urgent issues. How can senior leaders of critical infrastructure companies incorporate a greater focus on cybersecurity and further drive sharing within sectors and with the public sector? Learn how collaborating on the real-time cyber threats hitting our networks — and automating that sharing at network speed — can accelerate defensive responses and strengthen the nation’s security as a whole.

Presenters:
Jan Tighe, Retired Vice Admiral, Former Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare and Director, Naval Intelligence, US Navy
General (Ret.) Keith Alexander, Founder and Co-CEO, IronNet
Russ Cobb, CMO, IronNet

With issues such as Huawei and 5G, election security, and ongoing attacks from foreign actors, the world is seeing a frenzy of cybersecurity policy discussions. Get an inside perspective from seasoned cyber intelligence experts on the priorities for securing the public and private sectors — and how they can work together for stronger results. Join IronNet as we host former U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, who is also Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of MITRE Corporation, for a people-process-technology discussion about the cybersecurity industry and policymaking.

From this webinar, you’ll get insight into:
The most pressing vulnerabilities the private and public sector is facing today
The cyber policies and technologies that are most important to pay attention to right now
How MITRE’s new Engenuity foundation is driving research and development into areas like encryption standards and 5G networks.

From the Cyber Solarium Commission and CISA to the World Economic Forum — experts around the world and across all industries agree that collaboration is the key to a stronger cyber defense. How can organizations get beyond the theory and into the practice of collaborating on everything from best practices and threat intelligence to real-time detections of attacks? In this webinar, you’ll learn:
How to overcome concerns or misconceptions about sharing information in cybersecurity
The role that talent development and upskilling plays in preparing an organization for better collaboration
Recommendations for getting started with the local, state, and national organizations.

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.

Security leaders who are new to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework will learn how to make better use of the framework to identify security weak spots — and where to prioritize budget and project planning, from IR and threat intelligence to SOC operations. Cybersecurity analysts already know how ATT&CK can help identify adversaries by mapping TTPs and behaviors across the framework. In this application, ATT&CK has become a daily tool for hunters and analysts to better connect and anticipate multi-stage or nation-state attacks. But the MITRE ATT&CK framework can also be used to assess your level of strategic coverage and prioritize how you build out your cyber organization.
