The Future of AI in cybersecurity

In today's media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences.

According to Kaspersky, nearly half of the organizations that faced data breach incidents in 2022 lacked contact person responsible for handling such incidents. About one-third either failed to react, denied the incident, or showed indifference to their data being traded on the dark web. Only a few were adequately prepared to respond.

At our upcoming webinar, Anna Pavlovskaya, an expert at Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence, will present a comprehensive guide to setting up a system that monitors dark web threats and navigating the aftermath of an incident. You will gain insights into:

- Structuring the incident response process, including the approach, necessary steps, and the specific roles assigned to the team members responsible for the process.
- Identifying the types of data commonly offered for sale on the dark web and understanding the differing response strategies based on these data categories.
- Effective communication with the media, customers, partners, shareholders, top management, and other parties involved.
- Strategies for rapid incident identification, investigation, response, and recovery from an incident or preventing it from occurring.

Responding to a data breach: a step-by-step guide

Modern cars employ a wide array of communication interfaces. Some, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, directly engage users, while others, such as RDS and GPS, provide user-facing services, and still others, like CAN and Ethernet buses, ensure the proper functioning of the car's internal systems. These interfaces contribute to the extensive flow of data within the car, forming its data flow graph. Within this graph, they serve as the "entry points" for malicious attackers seeking access to the vehicle. However, tampering with them does not necessarily lead to the loss of the car's security features.

In this webcast, cybersecurity experts, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko from Kaspersky's ICS CERT, will delve into the automotive security. Together, we will examine:

- We'll explore which interfaces attackers tend to favor when targeting cars and the reasons behind their choices.
- We'll focus on the techniques attackers employ when conducting attacks through specific interfaces, with an emphasis on classical techniques.
- We'll discuss how to defend against these threats and evaluate the feasibility of reducing associated risks.

Join us for this webinar, where we'll equip you with the knowledge and tools to not only comprehend the ever-evolving landscape of automotive security but also to safeguard your modern vehicle effectively.

Overview of modern car compromise techniques and methods of protection

In large companies, the sheer volume of information resources makes their attack surface significantly larger, compared to smaller businesses. Numerous factors contribute to this exposure, including networks spread across various locations that are consolidated into a single infrastructure, mergers and acquisitions with companies possessing lower security levels, outdated hardware and software, and more.

The level of preparedness for a potential incident directly impacts the effectiveness of the response and allows you to mitigate the attack’s impact. In this webinar, you will learn how to enhance incident responses for large-scale networks. Konstantin Sapronov, Head of Global Emergency Response Team at Kaspersky, will provide you with the following practical insights on:

• Optimizing incident response processes beyond mere scaling up by increasing personnel and systems involved
• Understanding incident response from a management perspective and why it should be an ongoing, cyclical process
• Exploring key principles for a successful response, emphasizing the significance of not only technical skills but also quality processes and soft skills
• Unveiling the limitations of backups in mitigating the consequences of an incident and discovering effective strategies to address them

Cybersecurity Training and Awareness That Really Works: What You Need to Know

Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.

Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:

- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?

The sensitive data stolen from companies during a cyberattack often ends up on darknet markets. With the rise of the cybercrime as a service business model, we observe that not only data obtained from attacks is for sale but also for the information necessary to organize that attack.

Once an attacker gains access to the infrastructure of an organization, they can then sell that access to other advanced cybercriminals, such as ransomware operators. The price for accessing potential victims’ systems is relatively inexpensive when compared to the possible damage to the targeted business. In fact, the average cost for access to a company’s systems lies between the range from $2000 to $4000. Meanwhile, such attacks result in significant financial and reputational losses to the attacked organization and may even cause suspension of work and disruption of business processes. SMBs and enterprises are both key targets of such attacks.

Yuliya Novikova and Sergey Shcherbel, security experts at Kaspersky, shed light on how a company’s data and the information on their systems is sold on darknet markets.
In this webinar you will learn:
- Which types of company data are most widespread on dark markets
- Which criteria cybercriminals use to evaluate the price for organization’s data
- How to keep your data protected
