Threat Briefing: What to Know and Do About the SolarWinds Attack

Managing your organization’s security operations comes down to one question: What if…?  

Consider all the “what if” situations you might face from attackers. Will your security operations teams be prepared for each level of threat that comes at them? 

You can take steps to ensure your information security operations are well positioned for those scenarios amid a shifting threat landscape. Security operations teams that will be successful now and in the future are those that focus on the whole package: having the technology, culture, people, training, integration, automation, and partnerships to call upon when needed. 

Join Jordan Mauriello, Critical Start SVP of Managed Security, and Richard Diver, Microsoft Senior Technical Manager, Security Partner Development, for “Position Your Security Operations for Current and Future Success.” 

Key takeaways from this virtual session include: 
-Whether you’re making the most of the security tools you already have 

-How a maturity assessment of your security operations can determine if you have the detection and response capabilities needed 

-How Microsoft and Critical Start are partnering to help solve security operations challenges

Position Your Security Operations for Current and Future Success

How vulnerable is your operational technology? In sectors ranging from manufacturing and utilities to transportation and healthcare, automation makes work easier and more efficient. However, increased automation brings greater security risks and more opportunities for hackers who are looking to disrupt and exploit OT environments.

Join CRITICALSTART TEAMARES security experts, Allyn Lynd (Blue team) and Chase Dardaman (Red team.)

In this one-hour session, you will learn best practices to:

•Deploy and maintain security for your OT / SCADA devices (spoiler alert: number one is OT/IT segmentation). 
•Design new OT / SCADA systems integrating security from the beginning as opposed to after it has been deployed.
•Ensure your incident response plan has what it takes to limit damages from breaches.
•Build your business case to secure approval and funding for new security measures. 

Not enough? How about actual use cases of OT / SCADA attacks; Allyn will share from his experience working as an FBI agent.

Reduce Your Risk: Best Practices for Securing OT and SCADA Networks

No matter how much you think you’ve done to safeguard your data and systems against breaches, common vulnerabilities continue to wreak havoc on enterprises. 80% of hacking-related breaches involved compromised and weak credentials.  

Attackers are finding quick access to enterprise domain admins by simply guessing a password and logging in as that domain admin.

Given these challenges, what can you do to shore up your passwords and protect your organization? Join CRITICALSTART’s TEAMARES security experts, Cory Mathews and Joffrin Alexander, as they present, “Exploiting Enterprise Passwords."

From phishing pages to password spraying, you’ll learn how attackers gain access to passwords and what they do with those passwords once they’ve cracked them, as well as: 

- Methods to defend against these attacks specifically focusing on using strong passwords, password manager solutions, and probably most importantly multi-factor authentication. 

- External attacks such as logging in to enterprise solutions such as OWA, VPN, and file shares to maliciously changing passwords to lockout user’s access – and what you can do to prevent these attacks. 

- Proactive defense strategies including how to ensure you’re using strong passwords and how multi-factor can prevent breaches. 

- Internal actions you can take such as limiting excessive admin rights and other preventative measures.

·  Why Critical Start and Devo are partnering together

Why Next Gen SIEM Paired with MDR is a Game-changer

Organizations are losing the endpoint security battle against new or unknown zero-day attacks.

While there is no way to prevent zero-days, there are steps you can take to reduce the impact and/or severity of security incidents whether or not zero-days are involved.  

To explore these issues and how you can shore up vulnerabilities, join CRITICALSTART’s TEAMARES as they share: 

 - What a zero-day is – and what it is not 
- Using a zero-day to breach the perimeter and pivoting into sensitive areas within organizations 
- Challenges and methods in defending against zero-day including patching, defense in depth, and mature network and endpoint monitoring solution
- TEAMARES’ vulnerability research team’s success stories of discovering zero-days and developing full Proof-of-Concept exploits 
- Examples of infamous zero-day and +1-day events such as WannaCry using NSA tools released by the Shadow Brokers

Impact of Zero Day Exploits on Breaches

Globally, breaches cost organizations billions of dollars every year. In the U.S., losses for each breach average just under $10 million.

However, beyond the cost of remediation, breaches also impact an organization’s brand and reputation. After a breach, a company loses an average of 4% of its customer base, while a government entity loses the trust of the citizens using their services. 

In examining these breaches, we find ourselves asking, “What did these organizations do right? What could the organizations have done better?”

Join CRITICALSTART's security expert, Allyn Lynd, as he revisits some of the most expensive data breaches in history. 
 
Key takeaways from this webinar include:
•How to prepare for a breach
•What to do once a breach occurs
•How to recover from a breach in the long term
•What mistakes to avoid if/when a breach does occur

Lessons Learned from Billion Dollar Breaches

How big is your security risk and how do you identify and contain those risks? 
You may be surprised to learn that there are looming threats you can’t see, and attackers may be enjoying a long dwell time within your system – before you even detect an issue. 

Join CRITICALSTART to explore how big your security risk is throughout your organization, and how to uncover those potential blind spots. 

In this live session you’ll learn: 

- How to identify potential risk – asset management, risk register development 

- How to build an operation around risk mitigation – how to set up cadence for vulnerability scanning, pentesting, incident response tabletops to gauge your response to a breach 

- How to automate and leverage tools for efficiency across your operation

Uncovering Your Security Blind Spots

As threats and attacks evolve, many organizations find that traditional methods and products are limited in their scope and effectiveness. Compounding the problem, the growing cybersecurity skills shortage means many companies don’t have a dedicated team that can view and respond to threats 24/7 or support their growing remote workforce. Join us on May 7th to stay engaged and connected on the 3 fundamental flaws of threat hunting in this new day and age.

Threat Hunting and Modern Security: 3 Fundamental Flaws
