The client-side or the front end of web applications, aka ‘digital user experience,’ actively ingests customer/user information at data input points that can include very sensitive information.

As the web front-end code runs on unmonitored and untrusted devices, spyware, malware and other malicious actors leverage client-side security flaws and third-parties to steal credentials, financial transactions and payment card data to conduct fraud.

Securing the cloud can be challenging for many reasons. From data breaches that result in excess spending and loss of trust, to implementing and maintaining a security strategy.

According to Gartner, the public cloud services market is expected to grow 17% in 2020. With this in mind, how can businesses secure their cloud access while adopting new cloud strategies? Some cloud security vendors have adopted AI and machine learning methods to protect against threats to the cloud.

According to Cybersecurity Insiders, less than a third of businesses are monitoring abnormal workforce behavior across their cloud footprint. This is alarming considering the significant increase in usage of cloud apps and collaboration platforms. 

Join this expert panel where cloud security leaders will discuss:
-  The key threats faced by businesses implementing cloud services
-  How AI, autonomous response and machine learning can help to detect threats
-  How vulnerability scanning can optimize your cloud security strategy

Companies need immediate rethink on transfer data to the United States since the Privacy Shield transatlantic pact is declared invalid. The Court of Justice of the European Union found that the Privacy Shield does not meet the GPDR requirements and cannot ensure a level of protection.

We will discuss how to achieve compliant pseudonymization, including protecting not only direct identifiers but also indirect identifiers and additional attributes, while still preserving the data’s utility for its intended use.

We will also discuss different international privacy standards, the new Schrems II, clarify pseudonymization and other data privacy techniques.

We will also discuss
• Data privacy and working remotely
• That GDPR does not apply to data that is no longer identifiable
• Pseudonymization used nationally, as well as for trans-border communication
• Pseudonymization use cases for privacy protection of personal health information
• Re-identification attacks, full and partial
• Extracting new information out of an anonymous or pseudonymous database through re-identification
• Linkage mechanisms
• The data de-classification process and workflow
• Pseudonymization services best practices and trustworthy practices for operations
• Policy framework for operation of pseudonymization services
• When to use pseudonymization and/or anonymization

Being left at the payment altar is not easy.

PCI DSS requirements 6.1 and 6.2 address the need to keep systems up to date with vendor-supplied security patches in order to protect systems from known vulnerabilities. But what do you do if you have an in-scope application and it is no longer supported by the vendor?

Many payment applications, gateway and software are long past end-of-life, yet still processing cardholder data. Can such a setup be PCI compliant?

This PCI Dream Team webinar will detail the issue, challenges dealing with unsupported hardware/software, and suggest strategies for compensating controls.

Our panelists are some of the top PCI QSA’s in the country, with decades of combined PCI and card processing experiences. They’ve seen it all: the good, bad and ugly; and lived to tell the tale.

Join Ben Rothke, David Mundhenk, Arthur Cooper, and Jeff Hall for an interactive Q&A session, and get answers to your most vexing PCI questions. No PCI question is out of bounds.

Malware is a humungous force to be reckoned with, all the recent advances in technology did not retard the progress and impact associated concomitant to it. Malware actually rode the improving technology and made it its tool and an affiliate. Social network, e mail and mobile devices are becoming a major conduits to propagating malware of different types. Malware is becoming better at protecting itself. The development of technologies that enable malware to evade detection and analysis made it virtually unstoppable in infiltrating its high-value targets. Malware continues to be a problem for Communications Service Providers and their customers. The session introduces the history of malware, how it has evolved over a period of time. A threat ecosystem is an interdependency of different technologies and the people behind them that are vital to the success of an attack.

This presentation explains the threat ecosystem of malware. How malware impacts Communication Service Providers (CSPs). A view of malware activity in mobile and fixed networks around the world. Then the presentation will zoom in on IoT botnet activity that has increased substantially since the introduction of Mirai in 2016. Many of these IoT botnets leverage the basic architecture and functionality of the Mirai source code.

The presentation then elucidates the IoT botnet family tree, how a botnet works, how these spread and communicate with each other as well as command and control server. The presentation then highlights different variants of botnets and provides a high level overview of each variant. What are the top 20 most prolific malware found on the internet today? Highlight the infection types and rates in different type of networks like mobile and fixed.

Finally the presentation will provide some views on how different type of malware threats can be detected and mitigated and how networks can be protected proactively.

Remote work is quickly becoming the new normal and criminals are taking advantage of this chaotic situation.

The EU Agency for Cybersecurity's providing guidance for the huge increases in the number of people working remotely, using tele-health it is vital that we also take care of our cyber hygiene.

Viewers will learn more about:
- How to use encryption, controlling new storage of regulated data and data sharing in this new situation.
- Anonymization leaves personal data open to re-identification, which exposes firms to GDPR non-compliance risks.
- How are the HIPAA rules changing in this situation?
- GDPR prescribing pseudonymization and how is that work.
- How is CCPA changing the rules?
- How to secure wi-fi connections preventing snooping of your traffic and fully updated anti-virus and security software, also on mobile phones.
- How important files can be backed up remote or locally. In a worst case scenario, staff could fall foul of ransomware for instance.
- What apps are secure to use in this new era?
- Should we use MFA, PW managers or local PW management?

We will also discuss how to use the CERT-EU News Monitor to stay updated on the latest threats and check the following basics.

Everywhere you turn, someone is talking about MFA. When you strip away the jargon, the platform marketing and ads, what does MFA really offer to the end-user or to a business? As more and more services move into the Cloud, you’ll want to understand multi-factor authentication as a possible solution for your business or personal needs.
A little history:
Authentication is one means of identity management – it is how a computer system knows which user has access to what resources. In the not too distant past, this was usually controlled via active directory on a server that sat in a closet where you worked. And that worked well, because all the applications, printers, and employees were in that physical place called the office.
But, things change! Servers and applications are more likely to reside in the Cloud than in your office. Employees could be working from home, out in the field, or half-way around the globe. Each of the resources that a person needs to access must have a way of authenticating them, but traditional authentication is no longer sufficiently secure on its own!
Enter Multi-factor Authentication – which adds an additional and out-of-band way of authentication identity management. In this webinar we will discuss:
What is MFA?
Why as a Service Cloud services can be vulnerable to authentication breaches
What is out-of-band, and why is that important?
How utilizing MFA can be an important part of your strategy to shore your network or system defenses
How risk factor is reduced using MFA
The different genres of MFA, and how they can be implemented
We will wrap up our discussion with a brief Q & A session at the end, so warm up your questions!
