Greenhill Tackles Security Threats in Global Investment Space

Last year, the federal government issued approximately $1.2 trillion in grant funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, and that number is expected to grow in 2023. For most organizations who receive a portion of this grant money, it’s an incredibly exciting and newsworthy event.

But unfortunately, when grant funding is made public, bad actors can take advantage. In one instance, cybercriminals stole more than $4 million in funding dollars from a single city government—all via email.

Your email environment is your most vulnerable attack surface, and earning public funds makes you a target. Join this webinar with Abnormal Security, CrowdStrike, and Grants Office, to learn: 

- How threat actors use grant funding announcements to find their next victim
- Which types of threats are most dangerous for recipients of grant funding
- How you can secure grant funding to increase your cybersecurity posture

Featuring key insight from Grants Office, this webinar provides critical information for every organization that receives federal funding.

Protecting Your Federal Grant Funding: 3 Keys to Keep Your Money Safe

It takes 328 days to identify and contain a breach due to credential compromise. Couple this with the fact that instances of credential compromise have skyrocketed by 300% in the last year, and you have a recipe for disaster. Attackers are adept at evading traditional security tools—even MFA, considered in years past to be near-unbreakable.

What’s more, security teams often lack the resources to investigate every unusual event if it doesn’t signify an immediate threat. But any deviation from normal user behavior warrants investigation, from advanced MFA bypass tactics to simple misconfiguration.

In this live webinar, join members of our Product team as they discuss:

- The continued rise of account compromise
- Novel tactics like MFA bypass, and why they’re so difficult to stop
- Steps to take to mitigate account takeovers
- And more!

School may be back, but cybercriminals have never stopped learning and attacking! Sign up to hear first-hand how EAB has leveled up its security program, starting with a better approach to email security.

EAB Teaches a Masterclass in Email Security

Too many security practitioners spend half their day managing email—handling missed attacks, investigating user-reported messages, and managing rules and policies. The legacy email security solutions most organizations still use were never designed to address modern threats like social engineering or AI-generated attacks, leaving security teams to protect  their largest attack surface with insufficient tools.

This workshop explores how security practitioners can simplify email security by eliminating legacy secure email gateways (SEG). Dan Nickoliasen, solutions architect with Abnormal Security and email security veteran, will help attendees understand why modern attacks continue to evade gateways, how a new architecture can address the question of protection, and what replacing the SEG will do to unburden security teams from manual work. 

In this interactive workshop, attendees will: 
- Discuss why SEGs have become interchangeable and commoditized in their detection value 
- Begin a configuration inventory and map core capabilities of a modern cloud email security solution 
- Create a business value case  appropriate for executive review on the impact of migrating away from the SEG
- Walk away with a clear plan of action to automate SOC operations and modernize email security architecture

Participants are eligible to earn 1 CPE credit from (ISC)² upon completion of this workshop: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXpNB-pZ-mhmRUQCxme-d5JCj_4lDYyxVyRHiDBb2ypV5xfQ/viewform

When Florida Crystals Corporation, a prominent sugarcane company, consistently saw advanced email attacks slip through its existing defenses, the company’s security team knew it was time for a different approach. The combination of a secure email gateway (SEG) and native cloud email security proved inadequate against today’s advanced threats as well as the modern security team’s needs for investigation and reporting.

How 4 Cybersecurity Companies Protect Against Cloud Vulnerabilities

Cloud email platforms are a cornerstone of an organization’s digital environment. The ability to integrate mission-critical third-party applications and improve the speed at which employees can communicate and collaborate can greatly improve organizational productivity. 

The drawback, however, is with more robust, complex cloud email platforms comes the potential for security gaps. Threat actors can exploit lax and misconfigured security policies to bypass MFA and abuse API integrations in order to breach cloud email platforms in ways that are difficult to detect.

Security posture management is more important than ever before. Join us for this fireside chat where Acrisure and Abnormal Security will discuss the problems effective posture management solves for email security, including: 

- Addressing the Rise of Email Platform Attacks
- Solving the Configuration Visibility Problem Security Teams Often Face
- Enhancing Investigation by Enriching Security Event Data
