Securing Your Open Source Assets

Threat actors are targeting individuals in the Healthcare industry and using email as their main entry point for cyber attacks. These attacks are aimed at specific people in an organization to steal money, data or sensitive healthcare information. Threat actors can gain access to legitimate mailboxes using tactics such as phishing, malware or social engineering to impersonate the victim. This leads to further infiltration into an enterprise system. What can those in the healthcare industry do to combat this targeting by cyber criminals? Join Proofpoint and (ISC)2 on April 27th at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT for a panel discussion focusing on email compromise/account takeovers and best practices for dealing with these threats in healthcare.

When it comes to security metrics, there are lots of variables. The company. The size and scale of that company. Measuring where things are at today and where you hope things will be in the future.
There’s a lot at play, but one thing’s for certain: There’s a laundry list of security metrics you could be measuring. So how do you know where to start? And once you have your foundation, what’s next? On April 1, 2021 at 1:00PM Eastern, Axonious and (ISC)2 will host a webcast to examine:

· Which security metrics are commonly used for executive-level reporting and to track progress across vulnerability management, security operations & incident response, and more
· The foundational prerequisites to ensuring accuracy and context
· How to evaluate vulnerability management, security operations, cloud security, and other programs.

The ramifications of the SolarWinds incident continue to evolve as more details emerge about the impact it had on a wide range of organizations. A recent survey of more than 300 cybersecurity practitioners by (ISC)2reveals just how concerning the incident was and what these professionals recommend to shield organizations from similar supply chain threats. Join this panel discussion on March 30, 2021 at 1:00pm Eastern to hear anecdotes and best practices related to third-party technologies in the security stack, and how peers in cybersecurity leadership positions are future-proofing their defenses while planning for worst case scenario.

Traditional Intrusion Detection Systems rely on brittle signatures, and can be a major resource drain. As the internet continues to evolve, so do the methods and tactics of the adversary. Attackers are now more focused on your users rather than system vulnerability exploits. A new approach is needed….one that encompasses machine learning anomaly detection, cross platform visibility and cloud ready. Join ExtraHop and (ISC)2 on March 11, 2021 at 1:00pm for a discussion on Next Generation IDS and how it can provide more than just a compliance check off and provide context to the alerts you receive.

All of our organizations are dependent on their supply chain and
having a secure and uninterrupted ecosystem of vendors and partners is critical
to smooth operations. Of course, if it is important to us, then it is a target,
no matter the locale. The recent SolarWinds attack illustrated how a patient
adversary can be successful as they work their way through multiple vendors in a
supply chain to reach their desired target. This infiltration was difficult to
spot and for many, even harder to respond to adequately. These types of attacks
will continue and grow in sophistication. Organizations need to use OSINT and
other vendor tools that can investigate their partners in the supply chain to
gain insight into if they can trust what those applications are doing on their
network. Join DomainTools Senior Security Researcher, Chad Anderson, and
(ISC)2 on March 4, 2021 at 1:00 PM Eastern for a roundtable discussion on supply chain attacks and security,
what tools work and can provide insight into your supply chain and partner’s
infrastructure, and how a good security posture builds from knowing the
inventory and behaviors of what’s running on your supply
chain.

With the massive shift to remote working in 2020, organizations are racing to rethink their security programs to both guard from external attacks as well as manage risk from insiders. Modern approaches to insider threat management must incorporate investments in People, Process, and Technology. This means formalized insider threat management programs; it means investment in insider threat management technologies; and it means building resilience into the fabric of your organization with training.

Join Proofpoint and (ISC)2 on February 23, 2021 at 1:00pm Eastern as we kick off the new year with a discussion about security awareness, education and insider threat management and how best to defend your organization and arm your users to mitigate an insider incident.

XDR (Extended Detection and Response) promises to unite and integrate such security tools as focused on threat protection, detection and response, creating a single megasolution. Such an approach could yield significant benefits for an organization, Join ExtraHop and (ISC)2 on January 28, 2021 at 1:00PM Eastern for an examination on the costs and benefits of this strategy, a discussion of use cases, as well as:

• How to avoid vendor lock-in while still getting the best security tools available

• What XDR is, and what it isn't, including which data sources and security tools are typically included in XDR offerings, and how they work together.

• The advantages and disadvantages of Best of Breed vs. Single Vendor detection and response strategies.

Every organization receives unwanted email and various forms of phishing on a daily basis. Most are common and some are quite unique. Protecting against malicious attachments and links on inbound email is now security table stakes. But with the continuous evolution of cybercriminals, what’s old is new and what’s new is new. They never stop recycling or reinventing. And the cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystem never stops making it easier and cheaper to setup and launch phishing-based campaigns to deliver ransomware, RATs, steal credentials, spread internally, impersonate your executives, or exploit your brand online. Mimecast and (ISC)2 will discuss both popular phishing related techniques as well as newly emerging ones on December 15, 2020 at 1:00pm Eastern. We’ll also discuss various types of defensive techniques, emerging analytics, and user training strategies that can be applied today to better protect your organization.

In most enterprises, you have the phenomenon of tool sprawl - the overlapping abundance of technology in which only 20-30% of a product’s functionality is being used. A product is acquired for a particular use case, then another use case and another, resulting in a potpourri of tools with overlapping capabilities and features. Whether its instances in the cloud, security tools, network management or even the proliferation of personal productivity and LOB SaaS applications, the consequence of technology sprawl is not only financial waste, but also user frustration, security risks, operational inefficiencies, technical debt and lack of visibility into the organization’s processes and functions. Join ExtraHop and (ISC)2 on December 3, 2020 at 1:00pm Eastern as a panel of IT and Security executives discuss the root causes of technology sprawl, a path out of this cycle and the benefits to be achieved.

There can be many ramifications of a ransomware incident on an
organization. Financial, reputational and downtime are just some of the more damaging effects a ransomware attack can have. Organizations need to have a plan to deal with such incidents and to understand the marketplaces, economics and latest trends to be prepared. How do you prepare for such an incident? Set aside some money to pay if it happens? Will accounting or even legal allow you to do that? Join DomainTools and (ISC)2 on Thursday, October 29, 2020 at 1:00 PM Eastern for a discussion on the current state of ransomware. We’ll examine traditional ransomware vs RaaS (Ransomware as a Service), how RaaS is being leveraged by threat actors, what Blue teams should know and what to consider about planning, response and cyber/business interruption insurance.

Every organization today is in some state of digital transformation. While the understanding of security needs in the digital age has matured significantly in the last 2 decades, the implication for data privacy and in particular, its interaction with security, are still not well understood. As data regulations and laws continue to evolve, here in the U.S. and globally, organizations require increased understanding of privacy requirements and their impact to technology solutions. Join IAPP and (ISC)2 on September 30, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern as Bob Lewis and Cathy Scerbo from IAPP, along with Scott Giordano from Spirion, will share the evolution of privacy, discuss key privacy topics like Privacy by Design and the NIST Privacy framework, share their perspectives of the overlap between Security and Privacy and highlight the criticality of understanding the current implications of data privacy today.
