The Impact of Cloud on the Future of Web Application Security

Most organizations realize it’s no longer a matter of ‘If’ their organization will be breached but ‘When’. The question to ask yourself is ‘How can we gain better visibility, sooner to the signs that our organization is under attack, and respond more quickly in a cyber-threat landscape that is void of rules of engagement?’ In this webinar John Kindervag, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, and Chris Petersen, CTO/Co-founder of LogRhythm, will examine critical dynamics in the cyber threat landscape and how integrating security intelligence with a new and more efficient organizational approach to responding to cyber-attacks, can enable organizations to detect, block and respond to these threats faster and with greater precision than ever before.

Attend this webinar if any of the following apply to your organization:
· Ill-prepared to detect an advanced attack or breach when it happens.
· Hampered by outdated organizational processes that restrict rapid response to cyber threats
· Frustrated by the deficiencies of a first gen SIEM
· Inundated by a deluge of uninteresting security “events” and false positives
· Overly reliant on manual responses to security events
· Looking for a better way improve your security intelligence

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools are widely used in enterprise security organizations as a means to comply with industry regulations for data correlation. These tools are instrumental in aggregating alerts from multiple security devices and giving security operations teams easy access to all the threats targeting the organization. Or do they? With so many alerts, security teams are overwhelmed researching all the possible threats to the business that critical attacks are being missed. Limited context into each alert makes it even more challenging and time consuming to thoroughly research attack events, giving attackers weeks or even months to exploit their targets and steal data. In this presentation, we'll discuss the challenges of relying on SIEM for attack detection and investigation, as well as how to improve your organization's security beyond the SIEM.

In 1999, the Melissa virus changed the industries attitude on how malware could be spread. Seemingly safe formats, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF were now being used to deliver the payload. A recent report on the subject found that malicious documents, as a method for delivering malware, are now the preferred method of delivery amongst attackers. In the Red October Diplomatic Cyber Attacks, Microsoft Office and PDF document files were used as the primary
malware delivery vector.

The primary reason why this attack vector has had such a high rate of success in social engineering attack campaigns, is directly linked to its ability to effectively circumvent email filtering solutions by distributing a ubiquitous file type (such as *.doc, which is considered to be safe and an industry standard in document formats) that in most cases, able to reach the intended target.

As a result, analysis of the real world attack techniques, used in malicious office documents, is a key in defending against such targeted attacks that are one of the major IT security concern for enterprise networks.

This talk will look into the details of those attack techniques, as well as cover a few detection methods that can be implemented by enterprises to counter such threats.

Every day, billions of files and emails are created, used and shared between employees at enterprises all over the world. The mobile and cloud revolutions enable people to use data anywhere, from any device - causing organizations to completely lose the ability to control, let alone protect, their sensitive data.

So they try to contain data, enclose it and block it – even at the risk of disrupting business workflows and collaboration with partners and customers. All only find out that it’s next to impossible to seal off every entry and exit point to the organization; that a breach can still happen at any given moment; and that insiders and privileged users can always by-pass security measures.

But what if the problem of controlling sensitive organizational data, preventing it from leaking out becomes irrelevant?

Data Immunization makes it so - by focusing on the data itself rather than the perimeter. Data Immunization means embedding classification, encryption and usage rights to files and emails from the moment of creation. The immunization is persistent throughout the entire lifecycle of the data. Even if the organization is breached, or if files find their way to the wrong hands - either by malice or mistake – the data is fully protected and rendered unusable to unauthorized users. This is how Data Immunization makes the problem of security breaches and data leakage completely irrelevant.

The presentation will include:

-> The risks facing the borderless enterprise

-> Why and where perimeter-based defenses fail

-> The Data Immunization concept

-> Case studies from successful implementations by leading Fortune 500 companies

-> Q&A

Endpoints are primary targets for cyber criminals. Traditional endpoints such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones support agents and can be centrally managed, configured, and protected. The Internet of Things will drive 4 times the volume of unmanaged devices on a network increasing the attack surface and creating welcome mats for unwanted threats. These unmanaged IP-based devices will be difficult to identify, unable to support an agent, and look like black boxes to security professionals. Without knowing the device type and its business criticality, containing a compromised endpoint will be challenging and time consuming.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:
• Identify and classify every IP device on your network without an agent
• Correlate high fidelity security alerts with device context
• Minimize the time from threat detection to containment
• Secure the Internet of Things

Victims of targeted attacks, or advanced persistent threats (APTs), make the headlines. Attend this webinar to learn how APTs work and how to defend your business from them. Pat Hill, HP TippingPoint Product Manager, and Bob Corson, Director, Solutions Marketing, discuss the anatomy of an attack and why it's critical to detect and isolate the attack at "patient zero," the initial point of infection.

Attend this webinar to learn:
· How the bad guys evade your security
· The counter measures you need to detect and block them
· How HP TippingPoint and Trend Micro have partnered to neutralize patient zero

According to the 2014 HDI Desktop Support Practices & Salary Report, remote control tops the “must have” list of technologies to successfully provide desktop support to end users. Unfortunately, many service desks are using legacy remote access tools that often leave security gaps putting companies at higher risk of data breaches. This is not a new or unknown issue. Often, IT departments don’t realize the tools they’re using to provide tech support are also being compromised by hackers to plant malware and steal data.  According to the 2013 Trustwave Global Security Report, legacy remote access tools such as RDP and VNC are cited year after year as the most common attack pathways used by hackers. So if remote control tools top the must-have list, what can service desks do to securely support their users without putting their organizations at risk?

This session will educate desktop support professionals on how hackers are targeting legacy systems and what they need to do to secure their environment.

Join us on March 17th to learn how SafeNet Luna HSMs integrate with F5 Networks Firewall Platforms to protect the integrity of the SSL communications.

If your intuitive response to the risk of targeted attacks is to run and get some Advanced Threat

Protection, do yourself a favour and take a step back. The reality is that, while the number of advanced

attacks has been increasing, the vast majority of cases still use fairly simple techniques and exploit

publically known vulnerabilities that can be solved by regular patching or other mitigation actions.

In this webinar we will talk about how you should use vulnerability intelligence to reduce the attack

surface for hackers and strengthen resilience before you think of implementing ATP solutions.

Key takeaways:

- An overview of a multi-layered security approach

- How to leverage vulnerability intelligence to reduce risk

A Zero Trust network abolishes the quaint idea of a “trusted” internal network demarcated by a corporate perimeter. Instead it advocates microperimeters of control and visibility around the enterprise’s most sensitive data assets and the ways in which the enterprise uses its data to achieve its business objectives.
In this webinar, guest speaker John Kindervag, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Nimmy Reichenberg, VP of Strategy at AlgoSec will explain why a Zero Trust network should be the foundation of your security strategy, and present best practices to help companies achieve a Zero Trust state.

The webinar will cover:
• What is a Zero Trust network, and why it should be a core component of your threat detection and response strategy
• Turning theory into practice: Five steps to achieve Zero Trust information security
• How security policy management can help you define and enforce a Zero Trust network

Botnet sophistication is increasing at an astonishing speed. Malicious actors continually use new resources and develop new methods for attacking organisations for a myriad of reasons but with a simple purpose; to look for vulnerabilities in the whole operating environment and compromise an organisation’s security.

It is estimated that about 16% to 25% of Internet traffic in the world comes from communication between various types of malware. Without an adaptive security approach it becomes challenging for any organisation to process and analyse the sheer volume of data being generated, which is why a different approach is critical. It should involve identifying botnet activity using new methods, leveraged on automation and machine learning techniques, which are best suited to help tackle this challenge.

Join João Gouveia, CTO of AnubisNetworks for a discussion focused on the most common botnet evasion techniques and how to fight them. This webinar will highlight Cyberfeed’s (AnubisNetworks threat intelligence solution) capabilities, to present a cutting edge approach on botnet activity identification, related traffic and risk level.

In this webinar you will learn:

•The main challenges and the current Malware landscape

•Botnet invasion techniques

•A holistic approach to detecting botnet activity, correlating different attack vectors and techniques

One of the most pressing concerns in today’s ever-changing threatscape is how to address the human factor; with an estimated 14% of all breaches are linked to an insider.

New forms of attack combined with a lack of experience has left many organisations vulnerable and as more and more companies consume more and more sensitive data, there is an increasingly important requirement for today's Information Security Professional to understand the threats and the mitigation techniques available to them.

Andrew Rice, Director of Cyber, Security and Influence will be drawing upon QinetiQ’s extensive experience within cyber security to highlight vulnerabilities in your cyber defence and your workforce. Key takeaways will include:

** How to train your staff to deal with insider threats

** Case study into APT 1 using real-world examples

** Methods to combat ATPs including the AIW approach

** How best to measure your ATP protection

** How to integrate physical and cyber security

Andrew will also be on hand at the end of the session for 15 minutes of Q&A for you to ask your pressing ATP questions.

2014 is in the bag and what a year it was - for the hacker and cybercriminal community that is.

2014 was full of high profile data breaches and significant new vulnerabilities, some of which affected the very core of the online world. This session will combine looking back at 2014’s key events and a good dose of Fortinet’s cyber crystal ball to come up with some predictions for what we can expect during the upcoming 12 months.

With the exponential growth of data generation and collection stemming from new business models fueled by Big Data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, we are potentially creating a cybercriminal's paradise where there are more opportunities than ever for that data to end up in the wrong hands. The biggest challenge in this interconnected world is merging data security with data value and productivity. If we are to realize the benefits promised by these new ways of doing business, we urgently need a data-centric strategy to protect the sensitive data flowing through these digital business systems. In this webinar, Ulf Mattsson explores these issues and provides solutions to bring together data insight and security to safely unlock the power of digital business.

As much as Silicon Valley startup execs love to portray Microsoft as a dinosaur, the fact is that Office 365 adoption is accelerating in the enterprise. Office 365 offers a promising compromise for enterprises deciding, “to cloud or not to cloud": Bring cloud-based productivity tools under the company’s security umbrella so that people can work the way they want to, without sending sensitive company data astray. The idea that you can simply shift responsibility for your company’s data security to Microsoft, however, couldn’t be further from the truth. You can achieve Office 365 data security... but only through a partnership that involves, at its core, a comprehensive in-house security plan, together with Office 365’s built-in security functionality.

In this webinar, Rich Campagna, VP Products at Bitglass, and Chris Hines, Product Marketing Manager, will help you understand where Microsoft’s security responsibility ends, and where yours begins, highlighting key gaps to keep in mind as you make the move to Office 365, and how to solve them.
