They say you're only as good as your weakest link. Cybercriminals routinely use vulnerabilities in IT infrastructure to infiltrate the business, steal assets or launch a massive ransomware attack. Keeping up with vulnerabilities and patching requirements is already an IT challenge. Now with exploits like SolarWinds, Kaseya, and the Microsoft Exchange HAFNIUM the problem is only getting worse.

Join experts from Adlumin as they tackle the patching pandemic, demonstrate simplified management of core systems, and how to avoid crippling attacks that exploit your defenses.

What will I learn?
- Why ransomware-as-a-service and the industrialization of cybercrime accelerate attacks and increase the number of adversaries who can enter the market
- Best practices to reduce the cracks in your defenses that are often leveraged by criminals.
- How continuous vulnerability management creates a centralized approach to patch management and identifying critical vulnerabilities.

Tackling the Patching Pandemic to Protect Your Business

Sophisticated criminals and state-sponsored actors rely on various phishing techniques to harvest sensitive data, steal credentials or deploy malware. Far too many companies and employees think phishing lures are obvious and easy to spot. Sophisticated cyber campaigns use previously stolen insider information and credentials to create legitimate-looking requests that appear to come from industry colleagues. Join security expert and author, Mark Sangster and threat intelligence veteran, Kevin O’Connor as they review emerging threats and attack techniques, and unpack the latest exploitations, and growing trends in the threat landscape. 
 
What You Will Learn
- Explore the latest phishing trends and tactics
- Expand your ability to identify suspicious activity and report it
- Build defenses to protect your employees in the office and their homework environments

Don’t Get Cyber Snagged: Recognizing and Reporting Suspicious Activity

Malware poses a significant threat to businesses across all industries. Cybercriminals operate like Fortune 500 companies, optimizing their operations with superior technology and expertise, and increasing revenue in terms of ransoms and other illicit gains from their attacks. As criminals uplevel their ability to infiltrate and exploit your business, proactive threat hunting is non-negotiable when it comes to stopping malware-based attacks before they become business disrupting or cripple operations. 

Join Adlumin's Director of Threat Research, Kevin O'Connor, as he unpacks real-life examples of how Adlumin’s Threat Intel Team leverages observables and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to stop attacks in their tracks.

Threat Hunting that Protects Your Business from Cyber Risks

Most crippling cyberattacks begin with a simple phishing email. And while most companies provide some form of annual training and testing, they focus on overly simplistic lures that fail to represent the real danger of targeted campaigns. Join our panel of experts from Adlumin and KnowBe4 as they explore how to build a comprehensive training and testing program that leverages realistic threat scenarios to foster context-relevant security awareness and phishing testing that drives meaningful behavioral change across your organization.

- Use risk management data and accurate phishing lures to build comprehensive awareness training
- Maximize your resources and programs to increase return on investment
- Conduct testing that improves resilience
- Meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate program success to your leadership

Protecting Your Organization with Proactive Defense Programs

Cybercrime is a two-sided coin. On the one side, the industrialization of cybercrime and ransomware will operate with impunity. Meaning attack volumes and sophistication will continue to rise. On the other side, far too many organizations think they are not a target and are incapable of stopping sophisticated cyber adversaries. 

Join industry expert and author Mark Sangster and FBI Special Agent Steve Lupo as they dispel misconceptions, expose trends, and explore ways to work with law enforcement. Learn how to protect your business before it falls victim to the next headline-writing cyberattack.
