Join our network of cyber security advocates as we discuss leading IT security tactics, software, and more.

With 460,000 unfilled job postings in the US in 2021, we need creative and non-traditional approaches to overcoming the skills shortage. In this webinar, we’ll discuss some of the ways we’ve built our security operations center and how you can address the workforce gap by tailoring your approach to “hack” the system and better protect your organization.

We’ll also be presenting a chance to receive an extremely limited and high-value cybersecurity consulting offer for those who attend. Register, share, and watch to find out more details and how you can enter.

How to Overcome the Cybersecurity Skills Shortage

Building a powerhouse security operations center (SOC) from scratch can be a challenging process when you do it alone. That’s why we’re sharing tips and tricks of how to build an effective SOC for those just starting out, or those looking for some new ideas to fuel their existing cybersecurity team. Jason Miller, CEO of BitLyft Cybersecurity will be sharing industry knowledge of how he’s built a robust SOC that protects large and small networks of organizations around the world.

We’ll cover:
• Challenges in understanding the vulnerabilities in technology (software and hardware)
• Reviewing and understanding log data for more meaningful insight
• Validating your unique network activity
• Getting to know abnormal and normal behavior
• What to look for when hiring
• The role of automation for effectiveness

How to Build an Effective Security Operations Center

Thomas Coke, Chief Strategy Officer of BitLyft Cybersecurity, dives into the world of artificial intelligence as it pertains to cyber threat detection and neutralization. We’ll cover a real-world case study of an attack against a higher education institution that caused a chain reaction domino affect that was stopped by artificial intelligence.

What we'll cover:

- An introduction to AI Threat Protection
- Real world case study showcasing Central Threat Intelligence (CTI)
- Threat Neutralization through AI Threat Protection
- Immunizing networks against drive by scans

AI Threat Protection in Higher Education: A Real-World Case Study

Join Mike Skeith, Director of the Security Operations Center at BitLyft for a demo of the Securonix security information and event management (SIEM) tool and how our security engineers investigate and remediate threats. We’ll cover the basic of the tool and investigate phishing attempts, account compromise, mailbox configuration, and threats discovered from user behavior analytics (UBA). We’ll also discuss how we remediate and improve the health of organizations through automation of our SOAR and threat intelligence platform.

The live demonstration will also include a time for Q&A from the audience.

On September 23rd, 2020 Join Thomas Coke, Esq., the Chief Strategy Officer of BitLyft Cybersecurity for a discussion around the ‘practices’ and ‘processes’ required at each level of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).  This is the second in our series on the CMMC, and will be a more detailed explanation of two of the key elements.  Also included will be a list of resources and a proposed timeline for the CMMC.  Thomas will follow the presentation with a Q&A session and share his contact information for further engagement.

CMMC Compliance: Practices and Processes

The CMMC is changing the landscape of cybersecurity for defense contractors.  This session is an overview on what you need to know, what you’ll need to prepare, and how to meet the requirements. We present a reasoned and realistic approach so attendees can better assess where they stand for compliance and determine what steps are necessary to meet their objectives.

CMMC Compliance 101: Introduction

With so many of today’s major breaches happening through 3rd party vendors, it’s important to understand the risk of ‘assumed’ security with each cloud and SaaS offering used to help you run your organization. Whether it’s Salesforce, Office 365, SAP, or other cloud offerings, we assume they are secure, until they aren’t! In this webinar, Jason Miller, CEO of BitLyft Cybersecurity will be discussing 3rd party vendor breaches, what we can learn from them, how to hold our vendors to a higher standard, and learn to maintain a healthy skepticism.

How To Not Trust Your Vendors: Cybersecurity for SaaS and Cloud

The risk of losing data from ransomware attacks is skyrocketing at an alarming pace. To compound the concern, ransomware attackers have learned through trial and error, that they will not get paid if a company has good backup - so company backups are becoming their first target. Protecting your backups is a mission-critical business practice that can help to ensure business continuity. In this webinar BitLyft and Global Data Vault discuss:

• Five case studies of "insider threats” and what you can learn from them
• The current malware
• How insider access is used against targets
• How to protect against insider attacks effectively

Returning to Work Safer Than Before

Public power municipalities face unique challenges towards understanding their vulnerabilities and how to address them. Whether it’s SCADA systems or just general IT practices, there is a lot to protect and so much is at stake. With the growing trend of municipalities being hacked, being small is no longer a safe guard to being a victim of a cyber attack. In this webinar, BitLyft MCO Nicholas Pidek discusses recent municipality cyber attacks, key insights to prevent them from happening again, and how to build a path towards safer cybersecurity practices for small and large utilities alike.
