The 24x7 threat of a data breach is making more CISOs hyper-focused on securing cloud-resident sensitive data, as this data is a prime target for malicious actors. Its presence poses a huge risk, especially for model-driven organizations with hybrid and multi-cloud environments.  

Join Jack Poller (Senior Analyst at ESG), Bernard Brantley (CISO of Corelight), Rahul Gupta (Head of Security & GRC at Sigma), and Amer Deeba (CEO of Normalyze) in an interactive panel as these security leaders share insights on: 

• Why the security of cloud-resident data is a key concern for CISOs
• How enterprises are shifting security strategy with more emphasis on protecting cloud-resident sensitive data 
• Selecting an effective framework for cloud data security
• Top three best practices to help security teams more effective at protecting sensitive cloud data

CISOs Take on Cloud Data Security: Best Practices, Challenges, & Attack Trends

What we are hearing from CISOs, Nick Lantuh, Co-founder & CEO of Interpres Security explains, is that cybersecurity has become too costly, complicated, siloed, and requires significant manual engineering to succeed using current methods. These issues dovetail with the competing objectives to secure your organization from large-scale attacks, while simultaneously optimizing costs in today’s budget constrained environment.

A threat-centric cybersecurity approach holds the key to resolving many of these issues, in which defense surface management is key. Tune in as Lantuh and an ESG analyst deconstruct this topic in the following Fireside Chat.

Additional agenda topics include:
•     Why defense surface management is needed in today’s security environments
•     Defense Surface Management concept and origins
•     Steps organizations can take to validate their security strategies
•     How continuous monitoring improves the security posture

A Threat Centric Approach to Cybersecurity

PCI Data Security Standard is a global standard for protecting account data. The latest version PCI-DSS v4.0 was finalized last year. This new standard impacts on every organization and company in the world that accepts debit or credit card payment. 

In this presentation, industry thought leader Ralph Villanueva will leverage his knowledge and expertise in the PCI-DSS standards to discuss its impact on the enterprise endpoints, and provide recommendations on how to use this framework to optimize endpoint security.

Optimize the implementation of PCI-DSS v4.0 on endpoint security

Endpoint security is critical to protecting your organization from cyber threats, but traditional antivirus solutions are no longer enough. Cyber criminals are using sophisticated techniques that can evade detection by antivirus software. This session will explore endpoint security strategies beyond antivirus that can help your organization combat sophisticated threats.

We will cover a range of strategies, including:
- Behavioral analysis: Identifying and blocking malicious behavior on endpoints.
- Application control: Restricting access to certain applications on endpoints to prevent attacks.
- Network segmentation: Isolating endpoints from the rest of the network to limit the spread of attacks.
- Threat intelligence: Leveraging external threat intelligence to identify and block known threats.

Attendees will learn the importance of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, which can provide real-time visibility into endpoint activity and help detect and respond to threats quickly.

By attending this session, viewers will gain a better understanding of the limitations of traditional antivirus solutions and learn about alternative strategies to protect your endpoints from sophisticated threats. You will also learn about the benefits of EDR solutions and how they can improve your organization's overall security posture.

Beyond antivirus: Endpoint security strategies to combat sophisticated threats

Tune into this session, presented by Boleaum Inc.'s Vincent Amanyi, to learn how to implement a best practice identity access management (IAM) framework that is aligned with your zero trust policies.

Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify what matters in your enterprise environment. 
- Develop a strategy with a realistic budget. 
- Partner vendor's with the right solutions to your environment.

Implement best practice IAM and zero trust

Security teams are at now loss for telemetry from their devices -- the struggle is to make sense of it all. Many breaches occur not because detection didn’t work, but because the noise was so loud that the breach got missed until it is too late. 

This talk, presented by cybersecurity expert John Bambenek will cover how to engineer the right data sources from end points to not only build detection models, but to enhance and prioritize events to identify chains of behaviors that will lead to breaches if unaddressed.

Creating threat analytics on the endpoint

What does your cybersecurity posture look like in 2023? Tune into this webinar from Towerwall Founder and CEO Michelle Drolet as she discusses the latest cyberthreat trends and provides the necessary insights to defend against evolving attacks.

Based on the research and real-world experiences, we will discuss:

• The lasting cyber impact of the war in Ukraine.
• The maturity of the “as-a-service” industry  and how it has put advanced threat tactics into the hands of nearly any criminal.
• How ransomware operators have evolved  their activities and mechanisms, both to evade detection and to incorporate novel techniques.
• A deep dive into the abuse of legitimate security tools by criminals to execute attacks.
• An analysis of the threats facing Linux, Mac, and mobile systems.

Discover the latest cyber threat trends

What is XDR? What is extended detection and response? What does that even mean?

The evolution of of endpoint protection (EPP) to managed detection and response (MDR) to eXtended detection and response (XDR) is natural and expected.

Just as it was great to protect your desktops and servers -- the endpoints of your network -- with antivirus software, it naturally evolved into requiring 24x7 endpoint monitoring all 365 days of the year. 

Now that more and more companies are monitoring the network and firewall on a continuous basis, incorporating those threat intelligence feeds into your MDR solution to give you XDR is natural as well.

But what all do you get with this evolutionary step? Tune into this session from expert John Bruggeman who will explore  the major vendors in the XDR space, what they do and don't provide, and how you can make the right choice for your environment.

Protect your endpoints with evolutionary XDR

Space systems provide many critical functions to the military, federal agencies, and infrastructure networks. Space Policy Directive-5 Cybersecurity Principles for Space Systems describes the cyber threat to space systems and the need for these systems to be secure and resilient against cyber-attacks. Cyber defenses for space systems must be implemented in size, weight, and power (SWAP)-constrained, real-time operating environments that cannot tolerate increased latency and other common detrimental side-effects of cyber defenses. 

In this webinar, WiCyS strategic partner Sandia National Laboratories will discuss these challenges. They have been researching moving target defenses (MTD) to protect space systems against cyber-attacks. MTDs create dynamic, uncertain environments on space systems and can be used to defeat cyber threats against these systems. Furthermore, MTDs do not require the detection of an adversary to mitigate the effects of an attack.

Moving Target Defense for Space Systems

Cyber attacks are rising against critical infrastructure systems and have serious implications for our national security. In addition, many interconnected systems are becoming increasingly cyber-physical due to modernization efforts. For example, the electric grid has rapidly evolved with smart grid technologies, wide-area monitoring capabilities, and advanced automation. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the impact of multi-hazard events such as cyber-attacks and extreme weather on these cyber-physical systems.

In this webinar, WiCyS strategic partner Sandia National Laboratories will discuss approaches for incorporating cyber-physical analysis in electric grid response and defense mechanisms for increased situational awareness, improved response, and resilience. This will include ongoing research and development overviews for cyber-physical anomaly detection, cyber-physical data fusion, cyber-physical mitigation deployment, and characterizing cyber-physical system interdependencies.

Cyber insurance as a part of a cyber resilience program

Tune into this webinar session, presented by Boleaum Inc. founder Vincent Amanyi, to learn the three fundamental factors to consider when building a classic ransomware protection strategy for your organizational landscape.

Key Takeaways:
- How to prepare a recover plan.
- How to limit the scope of damage from a ransomware attack.
- How to harden your environment, making it harder for ransomware attacks to get in.

Three-phase ransomware protection strategy

Ransomware is an omnipresent threat to every business. A comprehensive defense and recovery plan is an essential requirement for managing and mitigating this risk. Such a plan must take a 360-degree view of the enterprise’s risk as well as identify and address the many uncertainties faced by victims of ransomware.

This presentation from Risk Masters International's Allan Cytryn will provide this 360-degree view. Participants will come away understanding the ransomware risk vectors, the options for addressing them, and the limits of their effectiveness. Recovery is a key component of risk mitigation. Relevant options and alternatives will be discussed. 

In addition, attendees will learn the the operational lifecycle of a ransomware attack – from anticipatory risk mitigation, to attack, then to recovery, and finally resumption of normal operations. Recovery planning is only effective if conducted in this broader context.

About the speaker:
Allan has more than 30 years of experience in senior IT Leadership roles in the finance and financial services sector. His responsibilities have included Regional CIO and Managing Director for Applications at Deloitte, CIO for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Vice President of Corporate Finance at Goldman Sachs, Group Vice President for Funds Transfer and Foreign Exchange Systems at Bankers Trust.

A Career in Cyber Security: My Unconventional Path

Very often threat actors and criminals will infiltrate a victim's network days or even weeks before planting malware. How can you detect threat actors before they attack? And how do you monitor your network all time?
 
Do you have someone watching your network on the weekends or over holiday breaks? Many companies not have eyes on glass 24x7 because it’s just too expensive. For the SMB market, it is not cost effective to hire 7 to 10 people to staff your security operations center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What does make sense is finding a trusted partner who offers Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to watch your computer network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
 
Tune into this session to learn how outsourcing MDR to a reliable managed service provider (MSP) can be beneficial for businesses with $5M in revenue to $500M in revenue. Discover how insured MSP watch your network for signs of a ransomware attack and take on that risk for you. Finally, get some rest on the holiday break knowing that your network is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Monitor your environment 24/7 with a MDR solution

Ransomware is a huge concern for many organizations. Ensuring resilience against these attacks requires robust measures. However, those countermeasures need to be in keeping with the organization’s overall security strategy. 

Zero trust began as a security model for network security but its concepts and value are now recognized as supporting the overall security posture of an organization. Many are using or deploying a zero trust security architecture throughout their security operations. Zero trust concepts can and should be used to prevent or, at a minimum mitigate, the damage caused by ransomware. This webinar will explore how companies can utilize zero trust for effective ransomware defense.

Join this discussion to discover:
• How ransomware operates which allows it to promulgate within an environment.
• The concepts of zero trust that support ransomware resilience.
• How an organization can leverage an existing zero trust architecture to specifically address ransomware.
• Solutions that support zero trust mitigation of ransomware.
