Transform your cybersecurity with frontline intelligence, modern security operations and AI-powered cloud innovation.

The complexity of cloud environments creates unique security challenges. These include dynamic attack surfaces and adversaries expertly disguising themselves with native tools.  Threat hunting becomes crucial for security teams seeking to reduce dwell time, by uncovering threats that slip past traditional defenses.

In our second installment to the Beyond Detection Threat Hunting series, Mandiant experts will discuss:
 - How to adapt your threat hunting program to cloud or hybrid environments 
 - Real-world examples of how to turn cloud compromises into hunt missions 
 - How hunt findings can influence cloud hardening and response 

Learn how to hunt for evidence from a previous or existing cloud compromise to enhance future response capabilities and realize new methods of threat detection.

Beyond Detection: Hunting for threats in the cloud

While many organizations have threat intelligence as part of their security operations program, most struggle to apply it effectively, and lack the required resources and expertise to keep up with the latest threat actors and TTPs. In this webinar, we’ll take a look at the new intelligence-driven approach in Google Chronicle Security Operations, and how it can deliver turnkey security outcomes with threat intelligence that’s personalized, relevant, and seamlessly embedded.

Tales from the Trenches: Malware and attack trends from Managed Defense

As organizations continue to migrate their critical workloads to the cloud, security teams face the daunting task of keeping their multicloud environments safe. Imperative to success is bridging the gap between proactive and reactive security teams so that everyone has a common view of data and events. This requires converging the tools and data used by cloud security and enterprise security operations teams into a single platform.

Join Melinda Marks, Practice Director at ESG, for an in-depth discussion on how the convergence of cloud security and enterprise security operations can streamline the detection and remediation of cloud misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities, and active threats. 

After attending this webinar, you'll be ready to start:
> Bringing together cloud security and security operations teams to drive greater efficiency and issue accountability 
> Prioritizing security response efforts by employing a comprehensive and continuous view of high-risk cloud risks that are specific to the environment 
> Understanding what cloud resources are most exposed through a unified data model that connects cloud security and SecOps teams

Converging Cloud Security with Enterprise SecOps

Proactive threat hunting enables cyber defenders to reduce attack dwell time through the identification of compromise activity previously missed by other detection mechanisms. Yet, many security teams do not have a dedicated threat hunting function and we’re on a mission to change that. 

In this webinar, Mandiant experts will cover:
 - How to establish a threat hunting function 
 - Threat hunting best practices and methodologies
 - Aligning hunt findings to the MITRE ATT&CK framework

Learn how to proactively hunt for evidence from a previous or existing compromise to enhance future response capabilities and realize new methods of threat detection.

Beyond Detection: The Art and Science of Proactive Threat Hunting

Many organizations are eager to take advantage of generative AI, but don’t have the resources to build, train, and maintain costly LLM models of their own.

You’ll also learn how to build an architecture with security controls optimized for your modern infrastructure.

Security Foundation for Google Cloud: Protecting workloads with layered defenses

Cloud security teams are becoming cloud risk managers. They are moving beyond triaging the massive volumes of security alerts common to most cloud environments, to a new reality where they can efficiently identify and prioritize the high-risk issues that expose their organization’s critical cloud assets and resources. And, they are looking to CNAPP security tools to not only detect cloud misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities, and active threats - but remediate them, as well.

Join Philip Bues, Research Manager at IDC, to learn best practices for managing cyber risks in complex multicloud environments. Hear about emerging technologies and tools that help to break down silos between teams, and provide common workflows that bring together proactive and reactive security to drive down cloud risks.

In this webinar, you will learn:
> Why risk management must take center stage when protecting cloud environments
> How to develop strategies for not only finding cloud risks, but automatically remediating them
> The importance of infusing frontline threat intelligence directly into cloud risk management to find and help defeat the latest cyber attacks

Managing and Prioritizing Cloud Risks with CNAPP Security

Everyone wants to dive into security data analytics, but it can get overwhelming trying to figure out how to work with the data they already have. Security teams don’t always know if they have duplicate data or if there is something missing. In this webinar, experts recommend tools and best practices for correlating information from multiple security systems so that your SOC team is focusing on the most important threats first. Get practical advice on how to integrate data from external and internal data sources to get actionable insights. Learn how to identify threats and prioritize your responses.

During this webinar you will: 
 - Learn best practices for turning security data into actionable insights 
 - Find out how to prioritize the most dangerous threats to the enterprise  
 - Get advice on how integrate security data from across the organization in a way that’s most useful for security teams

Presented live by featured speakers Dr. Jason Clark and Greg Kushmerek. Moderated by Becky Bracken.

Making Sense of Security Operations Data

Outdated SIEM systems continue to form the backbone of many security operations despite increasing vulnerabilities and the rise of more powerful alternatives.
