The Cyber Threat Landscape: Get Ready for 2023

In this session, we will detail how to re-calibrate your CISO strategy to gain traction in your enterprise domain and change the executive perception to accelerate business.  

Key Takeaways:
• Establish the fundamentals.
• Enable a simple message.
• Harden your ecosystem.

Re-calibrate Your CISO Strategy

Cybersecurity has not only become a regular boardroom topic, but may soon be a requirement. If proposed SEC legislation takes hold, all publicly traded companies must have a process in place to disclose cybersecurity incidents and more importantly, must actively identify and manage cybersecurity risks with board of directors’ oversight.  This legislation will likely have a trickle-down effect on many private companies as well. 

While some organizations have already undergone this journey, we expect that numerous companies are late to the party and haven’t begun to determine what this change means for them. This session will help you develop a game plan to right-size security for your organization by addressing the following key issues:

• Who should fill this role?
• Where to start?
• The art of incident response and reporting.
• What are some of the functionalities the SEC will be looking to include:
      o Controls to prevent unauthorized access
      o Monitoring
      o Measures to detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity threats
      o Third-party risk management
• Coordination with legal counsel and financial advisors.

Coming Soon -- CISO Observability in the Boardroom

Implementing a security operations center for the cloud can be a daunting and overwhelming task. Your SOC is trying to write use cases to detect attacks for every project your business has, how are we going to monitor the cloud as well? In this webinar with WiCyS Strategic Partner, AWS, we will talk through an approach to getting started using the MITRE ATT&CK matrix and some AWS native tools.

Detecting MITRE ATT&CKs with AWS

Endpoint Security can either be the first or the last line of defense. From the beginning, it has primarily been accomplished by adding some type of shielding such as a simple anti-virus program but has since evolved into EDR (endpoint detection and response) and XDR (eXtended detection and response). Ensuring the endpoint is hardened against threats is the most effective mechanism to secure endpoints as the vast majority of breaches are caused by known vulnerabilities that exploit unpatched devices.   

This presentation will provide information on how to create peace of mind regarding all your endpoints by increasing overall vulnerability and patch management.

Join this discussion to learn:
- Why EDR, XDR, and MDR are not enough for complete endpoint security management;
- Understand the overall damage caused by unpatched vulnerabilities;
- How to increase overall visibility into the status and behaviors of endpoints and the value this provides to the organization;
- Explore how the endpoint security solutions must include all types of endpoints including mobile and virtual;
- Ensure all endpoints are up-to-date with patches, how to automate the process, and what to do when they are not;
- Encourage collaboration between IT and security teams in regards to endpoint security management.

The Endpoint Security Alphabet Stew Must Include VM and PM

As the methods and practices used to attack digital assets become more refined, the security tools to combat the threats must evolve, shifting from reactive to proactive methods. This change means security teams must learn about and assess a slew of acronyms, including endpoint detection and response (EDR), network detection and response (NDR), managed detection and response (MDR) and extended detection. and response (XDR). They also must consider new methods for addressing and preventing alert fatigue, such as using AI or cloud-based services.

In this panel, experts discuss the types of endpoint detection and response available and how to tease out which is best for your organization.

Join us to learn:
--Why EDR alone is not enough
--How to inventory your endpoints and their protection needs
--How to evaluate MDR options including MEDR, MNDR and MXDR
--The difference between hybrid XDR and native XDR
--Operational benefits of XDR
--How SIEM and SOAR compare with XDR

Unpacking Endpoint Detection and Response

Endpoint protection alone used to be good enough for companies. But now we have too many alerts, from too many systems along with “the Fog of More” making it more difficult to locate and address security threats. 

How do you cut through all these alerts to pinpoint real threats to your environment? Can MDR or XDR actually help you focus on what is important or are these just buzzwords? In this session, we will review real world examples to see how MDR helped a small security team focus their limited time available to cut through the fog and effectively address the critical alerts and incidents in their environment.

Cutting through the Fog of More: Use MDR or XDR to Find Real Threats

Cybersecurity megatrends -- including zero trust, XDR, a pandemic-induced increase in remote workers, and the move to public cloud -- are influencing the way organizations think about endpoint security. These megatrends add new requirements for endpoint security, while requiring new levels of integration with other core security controls. Further influencing endpoint security strategies is the massive growth and device diversity driven by both mobile and IoT device usage.

In response, IT and security teams are thinking differently about endpoint security platforms, what they must include, and how they fit into the broader security stack. ESG Principal Analyst Dave Gruber will discuss strategies and best practices for modern endpoint security to secure this growing attack surface.

Adapt Your Endpoint Security Strategy

Cyberattacks against healthcare jumped 42% in 2020 and another 35% in 2021. 

Successful cyberattacks disrupt healthcare operations, delay access to clinical services, and lead to significant economic loss. Stolen patient records can be used to commit fraud and identity theft, disrupting patients’ personal lives. 

Medical information is an attractive target because it has high economic value on the black market. 

If you are interested in protecting patients and the healthcare organizations that serve them from cybercriminals, join WiCyS Strategic Partner, Optum, to learn about the career opportunities in healthcare cybersecurity.
