This virtual workshop will provide crucial insights into the internet-facing assets of businesses that make them vulnerable to  threat actors. Because you can't protect what you're not aware of, we'll guide you through the most common, yet often forgotten high-risk assets in an external attack surface, as indicated by our benchmark findings. Many organizations struggle to track and maintain an up-to-date inventory of all their external assets, making them vulnerable to potential breaches through unknown backdoors. External attack surface management (EASM) is a way to discover and track these unknown assets that may be potential breach-points into your organization's network.  

During this talk, we'll present practical and effective reconnaissance techniques and show you how to proactively and efficiently control your external attack surface. 

Join us on Wednesday, May 16th at 3pm, CEST to:  
– Discover most common and often forgotten high-risk external IT assets  
– Learn about the risks associated with an unmonitored attack surface and our benchmark findings 
– Get better insights of the various methodologies and tools that keep your external attack surface under control 
– Best practice to stay up-to date when securing your external attack surface  

 
Following the  webinar, participants will be offered a customized analysis of their external attack surface, in reference to regional benchmark findings.

Getting the Most Out of Your Specops Password Auditor Report

You can't stop the expansion of your external attack surface, but you can identify unknown assets and their vulnerabilities to mitigate the security risk. External attack surfaces expand due to modern software development practices, mergers and acquisitions, the adoption of multi-cloud strategies and much more. 
  
Many organizations find it difficult to monitor these changes and end up leaving themselves vulnerable to the 'unknown unknowns' - potential backdoors that can lead to a breach. 
  
External attack surface management (EASM) is a way to discover and track external-facing assets that may be potential breach-points into your organization’s network. EASM helps organizations create an accurate inventory of their internet-facing assets and vulnerabilities before it can be exploited - the first step in effectively defending against attacks. From there, security teams can continually monitor their external attack surface and prioritize their remediation efforts.
  
Join our webinar - Keeping Your External Attack Surface Under Control - on Thursday 21st September at 3pm CEST to learn how modern organizations use EASM to: 

• Discover shadow IT and unknown, external assets connected to your organization 
• Identify common misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in exposed assets 
• Score your vulnerability exposure and prioritize what needs to be fixed first 
• Continuously monitor the attack surface for new vulnerabilities introduced by exposed assets or configuration changes 
• Compliment vulnerability assessment and threat intelligence tools in a broader threat exposure management program 

At the end of this webinar, attendees receive an invitation to a personalized evaluation of their external attack surface

Depuis plus de 20 ans, la pratique de gestion des vulnérabilités (Vulnerability Management) s’est répandue dans la plupart des organisations souhaitant prendre en compte le risque cyber et protéger leurs actifs des attaques. 
Toutefois, en raison de l'augmentation du nombre de cyberattaques, les entreprises repensent la manière dont elles abordent la gestion des vulnérabilités. Les RSSI ne veulent plus de scores de risques génériques. Ils veulent connaître précisément les vulnérabilités les plus critiques pour leur organisation, afin de pouvoir les corriger en priorité et le plus rapidement possible.

C'est là que la gestion des vulnérabilités basée sur les risques entre en jeu. Couplés à la Threat Intelligence (renseignements sur les menaces), de nouveaux types de solutions de gestion des vulnérabilités offrent une hiérarchisation des vulnérabilités sur-mesure pour répondre à ces besoins. 

Participez à notre webinaire et découvrez : 
- Comment le paysage de la gestion des vulnérabilités a changé au cours des 5 dernières années ;
- Quels sont les avantages d'une gestion des vulnérabilités intelligente et basée sur les risques ;
- Comment vous pouvez rendre vos organisations plus efficaces et efficientes dans la remédiation des risques qui les menacent.

À la fin de ce webinaire, nous vous proposerons également une courte démonstration de la manière dont Outpost24 aide les entreprises à améliorer leur gestion des vulnérabilités grâce à ses solutions.

La gestion des vulnérabilités, plus intelligente que jamais avec Threat Intel

2022 a été une année mouvementée en termes de cyberattaques en France. Alors que nous attendons toujours les chiffres officiels, nous avons tous constaté que l'intensité et la fréquence des cyberattaques sont en augmentation. De nombreuses entreprises prennent des mesures supplémentaires pour améliorer leur cyberdéfense. Et, si en tant que responsable informatique, votre résolution pour la nouvelle année incluait le renforcement de la politique de mot de passe AD ?

Pourquoi ? Parce que la politique de mot de passe est essentielle pour améliorer votre cybersécurité : 80 % des fuites de données résultent de mots de passe compromis. Les mots de passe sont le maillon faible de la sécurité informatique et ne peuvent être négligés. Ainsi, dans le cadre de vos bonnes résolutions pour 2023, vous pourriez envisager de renforcer la sécurité de vos mots de passe.

Si vous vous demandez comment vous pouvez relever ce défi, rejoignez notre webinaire. Noe Mantel, Spécialiste produit, et Julien Berteraut, Regional manager, chez Specops Software France, vous guideront et vous indiqueront ce à quoi il faut être vigilant lorsque vous mettez à jour votre politique de mots de passe AD cette année :
- Les types de cyberattaques liées aux mots de passe que les responsables informatiques doivent connaître ;
- Les mots-clés pour la sécurité des mots de passe en 2023 : entropie, phrases de passe, fin (ou non) de l'expiration du mot de passe ;
- L'avis de Specops : aller au-delà des mots de passe longs – les meilleures pratiques de renforcement de la politique de mot de passe.

La sécurité des mots de passe en 2023
