The International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) is a member-based organization that certifies individuals in various e-business and security skills. It is the owner and developer of the world famous Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH), Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (C|HFI) and EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (E|CSA)/License Penetration Tester (L|PT) programs, and various others offered in over 60 countries around the globe.

Every day, thousands of organizations are unknowingly exposing themselves to more insider threats due to inadequate security awareness models. This is often because the training is not engaging, and tests are designed to trick rather than educate users. On top of that, there are often harsh consequences for those who engage with cyber threats. This type of environment only serves to breed threats instead of mitigate them.

 

In this speech, Joshua Crumbaugh, founder and CEO of PhishFirewall, will discuss why traditional punitive security awareness approaches are counter-productive and how organizations can leverage AI tools to emphasize positive reinforcement techniques. He will explain how data analysis and behavior analytics can be leveraged to detect anomalies and create an engaging and supportive environment that encourages users to understand the importance of security. Crumbaugh will also explore how organizations can use this approach to reduce the risk of insider threats and create a more secure environment.

 

By the end of this speech, attendees will understand the danger of ineffective cyber security that relies on punitive measures and unengaging training models, and how it leads to an uncaring attitude towards the organization's cyber defenses. They will also have the knowledge on how to build effective training programs that engage users and provide holistic behavior analytics built around actually reducing organizational breach risks.

As phishing and social engineering attacks become more advanced, and therefore costly, insurance companies are becoming more and more hesitant to issue Cyber Liability Insurance policies. With insurers under harsh scrutiny from underwriters, enterprises in all industries are experiencing premiums at an all-time high–with even Fortune 1000 companies experiencing difficulties even acquiring a policy. During this panel discussion, you will learn everything you need to know about how leading cyber security professionals are not only combating these advanced social engineering and phishing attacks, but also how they are using behavioral psychology and artificial intelligence to educate different industries on how to properly secure cyber liability insurance policies by implementing the most advanced preventative measures to not only fight back against cyber criminals–but also check every box, gaining much needed confidence from Cyber Liability insurers.

Cyber Liability Insurance - How social engineering ruins everything

The internet of things, along with the evolving workplace allow people and systems to communicate with each other in a seamless way to increase productivity and streamline many business functions. The benefits come at the price of an increasing rate of cyber-attacks across the globe. Cyber criminals are increasingly finding ways to penetrate modern work environments through devices and common modern work practices – a problem exacerbated by increasing work-from-home employment. Every one of us have become the first line of defense for our organizations and have the power to make a difference. Daniel and Kevin bring with them over 15 years of experience in law enforcement and IoT security. They will be discussing common security pitfalls and ways that you can better protect yourself and your organization from cyberattacks.

The lurking dangers of IoT devices on the new modern-day workplace

Unfortunately, ransomware is here to stay. Ransomware attacks are becoming more profitable, and ransomware-as-a-service operations continue to lower the barriers of entry for more cybercriminals to launch attacks.    Major attacks in 2021 like Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods have put ransomware in the spotlight, but it’s not enough to simply be aware of ransomware. Security and IT professionals need to take action and be ahead of the curve to prevent ransomware.   Matt Warner, CTO and co-founder of Blumira, a threat detection and response provider, will discuss what security teams should arm themselves with to win the battle against ransomware. He’ll cover:   An overview of the current ransomware threat landscape  Security tools and methods to have in your arsenal to detect signs of ransomware  Suspicious activity to look for in each step of the ransomware kill chain   How leaning into IT security fundamentals can prevent ransomware outbreaks

How To Stay Ahead Of The Curve In The Ransomware Crisis

As you continue down the path of VM maturity, you will undoubtedly find that manual VM workflows are bottlenecks preventing your program from scaling and moving quickly enough to meet your objectives. You might even consider building your own VM platform internally to automate some of these bottlenecks. Let us stop you right there.

We’ve seen it a million times. Proprietary in-house software, or homegrown vulnerability management solutions, tend to be clunky and immature, consisting of little more than a database and primitive user interface. They’re often difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to maintain, while seldom meeting the needs of the organization or scaling sufficiently to meet increasing demand. What starts as an attempt to ease bottlenecks and control expense, almost always spirals into a bigger headache and larger spending-vehicle than imagined.

How do we know? Because we’ve built them. In this talk, Nucleus co-founders Scott Kuffer and Steve Carter will explore the pitfalls on the path to VM maturity, with insights into why DIY is seldom the best course of action, and how we’ve seen the tactic go horribly wrong

Build vs Buy: Pitfalls on the Path to Vulnerability Management Maturity

Working remotely has become the new normal. This, and many other changes organizations adopted last year in response to the pandemic are likely to stay for the long term. According to Gallup, about two-thirds of U.S. remote workers want to continue to work remotely. So, how can organizations continue to support their growing distributed workforce at a time where reports of security threats have increased by 400% compared to pre-pandemic levels? 

Here is where the zero-trust approach to security comes into play. 

Join this month's episode of The (Security) Balancing Act with Diana Kelley and guests as they discuss the emergence of zero trust (“Trust Nothing, Verify Everything”) and what it helps achieve for enterprises in the age of cloud and remote work.

Viewers will learn about:
- The evolution of the security perimeter and the shift to zero trust
- Why zero trust is an approach and not a product
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTA) vs. corporate VPN
- Real-world stories and practical hands-on guidance from people who have deployed a ZTA

Speakers:
- Mari Galloway, CEO, Women's Society of Cyberjutsu
- Jonathan Nguyen Duy, Vice President, Global Field CISO Team, Fortinet
- Bob Rudis, Chief Data Scientist, Rapid7

Zero Trust for the New Normal

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.

Cook Your Dinner, Don’t Cook Your Devices

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

Ransomware in the Remote Work Era

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

What you can do to get ahead of the next round of attacks

Taking Down Nation State Botnets

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.

Join us for a virtual escape room and an exploration of threats below the surface, Immediately following the Webinar. Registration for the Virtual Escape Room here: https://ls.livingsecurity.com/ec-cyber-escape-online-event-3-24 (separate registration is required)

Sometimes the Best Place to Escape is Underground

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

The Reality of Vendor Risk Assessments

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

Succeeding as a CISO in 2021

The latest talk in managing security programs is the ability to make “shift left” in terms of implementing controls.  This concept translates to being able to not apply security controls post-implementation but rather during pre-implementation phases in a System or Software Development Lifecycle.  These stages (such as the Definition, Design, or even Development phase) can allow for security requirements to be conceptualized and applied before an Implementation phase.  The rise of regulations and demand for more agile engineering practices is forcing CISOs and security programs to develop more sophisticated ways to adhere to security requirements from regulations, internal governance, and clients.  This talk will focus on how DevSecOps efforts are changing how we govern security controls via greater automation tools that are readily available to leverage.   This talk will also show how the future can support for more cost effective governance models, regardless of industry or size of IT environment.
