How to Build An Advanced Email Security Strategy

In this rare EC-Council event, you’ll learn how to properly select, prepare & plate an amazing rack of lamb and sides, while engaging your intellectual security side with Eclypsium.

Modern organizations are in the midst of a transformation at the device level, and these changes are having profound impacts to security. No longer defined simply by corporate laptops and servers, enterprises must navigate the risk of a constantly evolving landscape targeting networking equipment, connected devices, personal-use employee devices, medical devices, as well as devices in remote work environments. Many of these devices simply can’t be managed using traditional security tools, with recent studies estimating that up to 90% of enterprise devices can’t support a traditional security agent.

In this EC-Council webinar, Scott Scheferman, Principal Cyber Strategist at Eclypsium, will discuss modern attack dynamics and unique insights associated with these devices, along with the challenge of protecting the converged and connected enterprise. He’ll outline a strategy for extending visibility and security to network appliances and unmanaged devices. Scott’s presentation will be followed by conversation and a cooking demonstration by Chef Michael Leto. Register in advance to receive a list of ingredients you will need to cook along with the chef.

Phishing and ransomware attacks continue to rise, according to Proofpoint’s State of the Phish report for 2020. Organizations in the U.S. are at risk, the increase in remote work due to the pandemic has fueled a spike in attacks, and phishing attempts are up by 14 percent compared to the previous year.

Email continues to be the number 1 delivery vehicle, but other social engineering schemes that rely on social media, voicemail (“vishing"), SMS phishing (“smishing”), and malicious USB drops are also of concern for organizations. Ransom demands are also on the rise, but according to the report, paying the ransom is not guaranteed to work as many companies that paid the ransom failed to receive a decryption key.

Join this month's episode of The (Security) Balancing Act as Diana Kelley and guests discuss why ransomware is surging again, which sectors are most at risk, the threat to enterprises and how it is being used for more than just ransom (ex: distractionware, destructionware, etc).
- The rise in ransomware under the cloak of the pandemic
- Why email continues to be the channel of choice
- The difference between fully automated and human-operated campaigns
- How to decide whether or not to pay or not to pay the ransom
- Why your backups may not be immune to ransomware
- Addressing the threat with best practices

Speakers
- Nicole Hoffman, Intelligence Analyst, GroupSense
- Courtney Radke, CISO for National Retail, Fortinet
- Patrick Lee, Senior Incident Response Consultant, Rapid7

According to a recent Microsoft report, 83% of all businesses have experienced a firmware attack in the past two years. Firmware and hardware issues have become one of the most active areas of enterprise security, as organizations struggle to cope with attacks such as the recent Accellion FTA device extortion campaign. Unfortunately, most organizations lack visibility into this critical attack surface. In fact, today the TrickBot malware group has more insight into which devices are vulnerable to UEFI attacks than most security teams.

In this webinar you'll learn:

How the cyber threat landscape is evolving as threat actors converge

Why APTs and criminal attackers are increasingly targeting firmware

How attackers are gaining visibility into the firmware in your devices

There are some things that just don’t change. One of them is that criminals look for dark places to evade scrutiny. They lurk where the lights are out and the security guards are missing.

So it is in cyberspace too, where APT and criminal actors are moving down the stack to hide from security teams.

For years many cybersecurity professionals have been trying to understand how to measure cyber risk. Why is this important? If you have a solid understanding of the risks facing your infrastructure, you can devise a plan for stopping any issues before they arise. Why is this so hard? Cyber risk is complex and ever-changing, as we've seen with the recent SolarWinds event that has caused a shift in focus to supply chain security.

Conducting proper security assessments that are fit for your business is a good first step, allowing you to maximize efforts and become more efficient in the process, but how do you know if you are running good security assessments?

Join our session and come away with:
- Practical recommendation on quantification of risk for vendor risk assessments
- Guidance on how to address vendor prioritization
- Do's and Dont's for vendor risk management programs

Instead of the traditional "castle and moat" model of the past, today the security perimeter is being defined around the identity of the person or the device requesting access. What are organizations doing to protect digital identities in the age of breaches? How are the current trends in identity and access management helping address this issue?

Join this interactive roundtable discussion with notable security experts to learn more about:
- The shift to identity-centric security
- The zero trust mindset
- What constitutes strong and effective authentication and authorization
- The role of policy orchestration and enforcement
- Best practices for protecting identities and managing access across the enterprise

In the ancient times of software creation, we had AppSec, and we had developers.

Generally, AppSec was aware of security problems, their impact, and code-level fixes. However, these remedies would rarely work in the custom tech stack of the company. Developers cranked out software features in a fast, functional and reliable way, but also released their code for security review as late as possible. Why? To shorten the AppSec feedback window, ensuring their out-of-context security recommendations would bounce back well after the release window and not halt proceedings. A little dysfunctional, to say the least.

Fast-forward to today, and our demand for software is greater than ever before, as is the risk of data breaches from common vulnerabilities. This fractured process cannot work, and the DevSecOps movement is here to change the game. DevSecOps creates an environment of shared responsibility for security, where developers become responsible for effective deployment, and the lines between AppSec and development teams are increasingly blurred and more collaborative.

The days of a hands-off security approach for developers are over, and with the right training and tools, they can take advantage of this process, upskill their security awareness and stand out among their peers.

Delivered by security expert Matias Madou, Ph.D., he will demonstrate:
The changes the industry has faced in the journey from Waterfall to DevSecOps
How developers can navigate change and become a powerful piece of the DevSecOps pipeline
Why DevSecOps doesn't have to compromise the work developers love most
How sharing the responsibility for security works in a team environment
Why upskilling as a security-aware developer will help bridge the cybersecurity skills gap, and make them a sought-after engineer in the process.

The 2020 US presidential election is behind us, but the key cybersecurity issues surrounding election integrity could linger for years to come.

Earlier this year many companies experienced an incredible shift to fully remote work almost overnight, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This accelerated the “digital transformation” journey for many companies compressing what was a multi-year timeline into a few months and making 2020 different than any other previous year. In this episode we’ll explore how the balance between security, privacy and productivity was tipped this year, and what can we expect to see in 2021 as some, but not all, organizations head back to office work with a post-pandemic mindset.

The audience will hear from CISOs and Security Directors about how this year was different, what they're going to do differently going forward, and what they expect (or have already seen) as organizations get back to pre-COVID levels.

Topics covered:
- 2020 in review
- The hard lesson that a mobile workforce is not the same as a remote workforce
- How the attack surface expanded and what CISOs are doing to ensure risk doesn’t expand too
- How digital transformation sped up and what they meant for security, privacy and productivity
- During the speedy journey to the cloud - what mistakes were made?
- Lessons learned that will be carried forward for security teams
- What CISOs are doing to prepare for whatever 2021 may bring
