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.

- 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.

• Risks and concerns the use of browser isolation can eliminate.

Secure Browser or Browser Isolation 101

Ensuring users have access to only the resources they need, aka least privilege is great. But have you considered granting users only needed access?
 
This talk will introduce the concept of granting ‘Just-in-Time Access’. Securing an endpoint is more than patching and vulnerability management. Granting access to who, when and what also secures an endpoint. Only when a user needs to connect to a system, can access be granted. Ports such as SSH do not need to be open for the world to connect and probe. Database credentials do not need to last forever.
 
This approach limits the damage that can be caused by an account -- privileged or otherwise -- by reducing the amount of time an attacker has to gain access to the account, as well as the time they have to move from a compromised account before losing access.
 
The short explanation for Just-in-Time Access is providing short-term access in real time. It is a relatively new term in the industry and is another way to practice the least privileged best practice.
 
Key Takeaways:
• The benefits to Just-in-Time access for security and operations
o Improved visibility
o Minimize damage from compromised accounts
o Operational efficiency
• How SSH can be replaced with AWS SSM sessions
o Direct SSH replacement
o SSH reverse proxy
• How Just in Time Access for database credentials can help 
o Example: Hashicorp Vault
o Example: Akeyless
• Resources for learning more

Introduction to Just-in-Time Access with SSH and Database Credentials

The zero trust concept has been around for over a dozen years. For a long time it was just an aspiration for companies, but over the past few years it has become a reality. According to a number of surveys, a majority of organizations are working on zero trust projects.  While zero trust is primarily regarded as a network security framework, the tenets of zero trust are applicable to all elements of the cyber security stack.  This presentation will discuss why and how zero trust can be implemented at the device level.  Attending the webinar will provide you with:

o A deep understanding of the components of zero trust;
o How a zero trust mindset fosters the development of a zero trust architecture;
o The added value of including endpoints into this security framework;
o The knowledge required to advocate for the incorporation of a zero trust architecture throughout the security stack.

The Zero Trust Framework Applies to Endpoints Too

Security teams were once able to reliably understand the users, assets, data and applications they needed to protect. Today, current operating models have put workforces and workloads in motion, forcing security architects to rethink and rearchitect modern security strategies. 
 
As adversaries leverage sophisticated attacks that transverse both endpoints and cloud workloads, security teams require more sophisticated controls capable of working together to prevent, detect and respond to advanced threats within a highly dynamic attack surface. This research-led session will focus on how teams are responding, the end-user security controls at play, and the strategies shown to be most effective.
