Reducing the Attack Surface via Internet Reconnaissance, Automation & Mitigation Oct 26 2017 5:00 pm UTC 75 mins

Benjamin Powell, Technical Marketing Manager; John Carnes, Anthem; Dustin Sachs, Navigant; Brandon Dunlap (Moderator)

Business digital transformation has outpaced conventional cyber defenses. Adversaries no longer attack Firewalls or maneuver laterally between systems to wreak havoc on operations, customers and brands. External threats are the root cause for the majority of today’s incidents and breaches. A recent IDG survey revealed that 70% of enterprises have zero to modest confidence in the ability to reduce their digital attack surface. VA scanners, pen testing and systems tools all provide visibility and control of internal assets, but they fail on the vast number of dynamic web systems, web apps and other components connected to a business and are blind to subsidiaries, ecosystem, global and hosted sites, and service providers - all with possible susceptibility. How can SOC and GRC teams gain the active discovery and direct insight needed to respond to exposed external facing exposed assets - even those not under control of IT? Join RiskIQ and (ISC)2 on October 26, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern as we explore how to leverage advanced internet reconnaissance, automation, and mitigation to address mounting digital attack surface gaps.

The Human Target – The Tip of Spear is Aimed at You Recorded: Jun 8 2017 58 mins

Ira Winkler, Secure Mentem, Sylvester Gray, Sophos; Johnny Deutsch, E&Y; Brandon Dunlap, Moderator

While Phishing schemes continue to bedevil organizations and security teams, cyber criminals have become more selective and refined about their targets and methods of trying to reel them in. Senior executives have become the “Whales” of the phishing industry, as scammers develop specific, targeted campaigns aimed at value rich individuals like CEOs, CFOs and others with organizational power and access to secured information and financial/personal data. How can security teams educate their upper management on these schemes and keep them from “leaking” details on social platforms criminals can use to bait these well designed traps? Join Sophos and (ISC)2 on June 8, 2017 at 1:00PM for an examination of Spear Phishing and how to secure and educate your executive team from becoming a victim.

Machine Learning and Malware: What You Need to Know Recorded: Apr 27 2017 59 mins

Robert Leong, Dir, Prod Mgmt., McAfee Labs; Raf Los, Optiv; Dr. Paulo Shakarian; Brandon Dunlap (Moderator)

The seismic jolt in the Threat Landscape caused by the success of threats like ransomware combined with the geometric rise of so-called zero-day malware (i.e. malware for which no AV signature defenses exist) has given rise to all manner of innovation in the Cybersecurity industry. But a lot of what is being said and presented in the market is really confusing and that’s a problem for practitioners. One of the most-frequently-used phrases in security today is “Machine Learning” or “Math-Based” and “Artificial Intelligence” or “AI”. These phrases are entering the security conversation to describe capabilities, approaches, and strategies, but in reality, they are confusing a great many people. Which begs the question: “What on Earth does it mean?” and “How can Machine Learning be used in Enterprise Security?” Join McAfee and (ISC)2 on April 27, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern as we clear the confusion, explore the answers to these questions and discuss what this means for dealing with threats.

Building a Blueprint for an Insider Threat Program Recorded: Mar 16 2017 58 mins

Jadee Hanson, Dir of Security, Code 42; Joji Montelibano, Rockwell; Chris Walcutt, Black & Veatch; Brandon Dunlap (Moderator)

While infosecurity teams are playing defense against external threats, they cannot lose sight of the threat that insiders at their organization pose. Employees, contractors and business associates can all have accounts which provide them legitimate access to systems within the enterprise, but that access can carry significant risk. Detecting, monitoring and preventing such unauthorized access and exflitration is critical. Building an Insider threat program to manage such functions can help an organization get visibility into the problem and streamline these efforts. But where does an organization start when building such a program? What underpinnings need to be in place in order to have success with a program? Get an inside scoop on what it is really like to build and run these types of programs; what are insiders really doing and what are they stealing. Join Code42 and (ISC)2 on March 16, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern for a discussion on how to construct an effective insider threat program.

Information Overload - Making Sense of Threat Intelligence Sources Recorded: Mar 2 2017 62 mins

John Carnes, Anthem; Mat Gangwer, CTO, Rook Security; Erik Von Geldern, FXCM; Brandon Dunlap (Moderator)

There's an overwhelming amount of information that comes from the connected world. Information sources are endless, but their credibility can be questionable. Cyber security teams can often relate with an overload of threat data from a variety of sources. Building an effective threat intelligence capability requires drilling down through all of information to find the data that is most relevant to you. So where do you start? To avoid information overload, an organization needs to be selective about the sources that they need to stay ahead of the threats and exploits that can compromise them. Join (ISC)2 and our sponsor Recorded Future for a From the Trenches webcast on March 2, 2017 at 1:00 PM ET for a discussion on threat intelligence sources, what's available out there, and how to separate the signal from the noise so you can spend less time on data collection and more time on analysis.

Cross Talk: How Network & Security Tools Can Communicate For Better Security Recorded: Feb 23 2017 59 mins

Craig Sanderson, Sr. Dir. Prod Mktg, Infoblox; Dan York, Internet Society; Raghu Gadam, Security Analyst (ISC)2; B. Dunlap

Working in silos, while never a good idea, is a reality in many organizations today. Security and network operations teams have different priorities, processes and systems. Security teams use various controls and tools to mitigate different kinds of threats which provides them with thousands of alerts on a daily basis. They often find it difficult to prioritize the threats to address first. What they may not know is that there is a whole piece of the puzzle they could be missing - core network services like DNS, DHCP and IPAM. These can provide a wealth of information and context on threats, which can help prioritize response based on actual risk and ease compliance. Join Infoblox and (ISC)2 on February 23, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern for a roundtable discussion on how to use ecosystem integrations between network and security tools for better security and compliance.

Visibility and Security - Two Sides of the Same Coin Recorded: Jan 19 2017 60 mins

Cricket Liu, Exec VP, Infoblox; Dan York, CISSP, DNS Sec Prog Mgr, Internet Society;

You can't secure what you can't see and not knowing what's on your network can be damaging. While security is about proactively detecting and mitigating threats before they cause damage, it is also about gaining deep visibility into today's complex networks which may include diverse platforms and architectures. A truly enterprise grade DNS, DHCP and IPAM (DDI) platform can provide that visibility because of where it sits in networks. On the downside, DNS is a top threat vector but it can be used as strategic control points to block malicious activity and data exfiltration. Join Infoblox and (ISC)2 on January 19, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern for a round table discussion featuring Cricket Liu, a well known authority on the Domain Name System and the co- author of all of O'Reilly & Associates' Nutshell Handbooks on DNS, as we examine how strategic DNS can be used for visibility and security.

Quantifying Cloud Risk Recorded: Nov 4 2016 54 mins

Jack Jones, CISSP, CRISC, CISM, CISA EVP R&D, RiskLens Inc.

Business executives are unlikely to ever really understand risk statements like “High risk”, “Medium risk” and “Low risk”. As a result, they sometimes discount higher risk situations as “infosec conservatism.” Risk quantification can be a powerful tool to help them better understand and appropriately prioritize infosec risk scenarios. In this session, Jack will walk participants through an analysis of a specific cloud service leveraging the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) framework. The analysis results will be described in business terms that any executive would understand. This session will demonstrate a pragmatic approach to quantifying cloud-related risk.
